Do I need a visa for Armenia from Cuba?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cuban nationals need a visa for Armenia; a visa on arrival may be issued at certain entry points and an e-Visa can be applied for online before departure.
For Armenia, Cuba is subject to a visa: depending on the entry point, Cuban travellers may obtain a visa on arrival, but the e-Visa applied for in advance on the official Armenian portal offers more security. Getting the authorisation online reduces the risk of being held up at the border. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Cuban citizen you must obtain a visa to enter Armenia. Two options exist: a visa on arrival at certain posts and an e-Visa requested online before travel. Given that checks can be more thorough, applying for the e-Visa in advance is strongly advised.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa is applied for on the official evisa.mfa.am portal: create the file, enter the passport data, upload a photo and pay online. For a visa on arrival, go to the counter at the entry point with a valid passport and the required amount. Print and keep your authorisation whichever route you choose.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Cuban passport valid for at least 6 months on entry, a compliant passport photo and, depending on the purpose, proof of accommodation, funds and return. The fee and validity are not confirmed here and may differ by route: check the rates on the official portal before paying.
Processing and tips
Submit the e-Visa application several days before departure, as the timeline is not guaranteed and may be extended by checks. If you are aiming for the visa on arrival, keep a time buffer and the means to pay. Check the health entry requirements and that the data on your visa matches the passport.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not treat Cuba as exempt: a visa is required. Do not book a non-changeable ticket until your visa is confirmed, especially if you are relying on the visa on arrival. Use only the official portal and check passport validity (more than 6 months).
