Visa Application Guidelines
Document Requirements

To travel to Armenia, an applicant must obtain a visa from the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Washington, DC, or the Consulate General in Los Angeles. *

Armenian entry visas can serve as transit ones (up to three day stay) in other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Those interested in a longer stay in other CIS countries either before or after their entry into Armenia must obtain separate visas from appropriate Embassies.

To obtain a visa through the Embassy, applicants are required to submit the following paperwork to the Consular Section:

A filled out visa application form (one per applicant). (Visa Application Form in: MS Word 2000 format or Adobe Acrobat PDF format)
One recent passport-size photo, attached to the application form. The picture can be black-and-white or color.
The original passport valid for 4 months.
Money order or certified check payable to the Embassy of Armenia (no cash or personal checks can be accepted).
Notes:

If applying by mail, applicants are responsible for the cost of the return shipment. It can be either a prepaid return envelope of any registered mail with a tracking number or a separate money order in the amount of $15 to cover the cost of the FedEx services.

The Embassy of the Republic of Armenia cannot be held responsible for documents lost in the mail.
