Armenia is one of the easier countries to enter: many nationalities travel visa-free, and most others get a quick electronic visa. Rules depend on your passport, so always confirm with Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you fly.
Citizens of the EU, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the EAEU/CIS countries (among many others) can typically enter Armenia visa-free — commonly for stays of up to 180 days within a year. The exact allowance depends on your nationality.
If your nationality isn't visa-free, Armenia offers a straightforward electronic visa (eVisa) applied for online before travel, and a visa on arrival at Zvartnots International Airport for eligible nationalities. The eVisa is usually issued within a few business days.
