Do I need a visa for Armenia from Iraq?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Iraqi citizens need a visa for Armenia. The recommended route is the electronic visa (e-Visa) applied for online before departure; at some entry points a visa may also be issued on arrival.
Armenia does not waive visas for Iraqi nationals. Whether you leave from Baghdad, Basra or Erbil, the most reliable option is to secure your e-Visa on the official portal of Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you board. This guide walks through the process, the documents you need and the mistakes to avoid.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Iraqi passport holders must hold a visa to enter Armenia. The primary channel is the e-Visa applied for online, and a visa on arrival may be offered at some border points; do not rely on it, and apply online before you travel instead.
How and where to apply
File your request on the official portal at evisa.mfa.am: create an account, complete the form and upload the supporting documents. If you arrive through Yerevan's international airport (Zvartnots) or another post open to visa on arrival, a counter may issue the visa there, but the e-Visa remains safer to avoid being denied boarding.
Documents and fees
Carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date, a recent passport photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the official rate shown on evisa.mfa.am when you pay.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed in this guide, so submit your application several days ahead of departure. Print or save the e-Visa confirmation and present it with your passport at the Armenian border.
Common mistakes
Do not travel assuming visa on arrival is automatic. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly, and confirm the six-month validity before booking your flights.
