Do I need a visa for Armenia from Cape Verde?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cape Verdean nationals need a visa for Armenia; it is obtained online as an e-Visa through the official portal before departure.
Cape Verde has no visa exemption for Armenia. Cape Verdean travellers must apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) on the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal before leaving. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the e-Visa remains the most reliable route.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Cape Verdean citizen you must hold a visa to enter Armenia, including for a tourist stay. The standard option is the e-Visa, applied for online before travel; a visa on arrival may exist at certain posts, but do not rely on it without confirmation. Treat this step as an unavoidable part of your preparation.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is made on the official evisa.mfa.am portal. Create a file, enter your personal and passport details, upload a photo and the bio page, then pay the fee online. After approval, the e-Visa is sent by email: print it and keep a copy for boarding and the border check.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Cape Verdean passport valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry, a compliant passport photo and, depending on the purpose, proof of accommodation and travel. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here: check the official portal for the current rate before paying.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several working days before departure, as processing time is not guaranteed. Check the health entry requirements, including a possible yellow-fever vaccination certificate sometimes required of travellers coming from Cape Verde. Finally, make sure the name and passport number on the e-Visa exactly match your document.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not mistake the e-Visa for an exemption: without a valid authorisation, boarding may be refused. Use the official portal exclusively and avoid intermediaries charging surcharges. Check passport validity (more than 6 months) and the accuracy of every detail before you confirm and pay.
