Our guide to the Armenia visa from Eritrea
Eritrean passport holders need an e-Visa for Armenia and must obtain it online before departure. Applications are submitted through the official Armenian authorities’ portal.
Eritrean travelers going to Armenia must complete the official electronic process before travel. Visa on arrival is not available to Eritrean passport holders. Check the information displayed on the official portal before submitting an application.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Eritrean passport holders must obtain an e-Visa for Armenia before departure through the official online process. Nationals of the 57 countries on the former “by invitation” list, including Eritrea, have only been able to apply for an Armenian e-Visa since 16 June 2026, when government decision 643-N repealed that list. The measure was presented as temporary and linked to the Yerevan COP17, held from 19 to 30 October 2026, and the invitation requirement could be reinstated after the conference. The “by invitation” list still published by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is dated 2 February 2024 and does not reflect that repeal. For travel from November 2026, confirm the situation with an Armenian embassy or consulate before booking.

What documents are required for an e-visa for Armenia?

- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Armenia before you apply.

You live in Eritrea on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Eritrea but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing times and advice

Common mistakes
Do not use an intermediary website that presents itself as a visa service without confirming that it is the official Armenian authorities’ portal, as such websites may add extra charges. Do not confuse the maximum stay of 120 days with visa validity or processing time. Also ensure that the information entered and documents uploaded match the requirements shown on the official portal.
