Our guide to the Armenia visa from Kenya
Travellers holding a Kenyan passport must obtain an e-Visa for Armenia before departure. The application is submitted online through the official portal, and visa on arrival is not available.
Before travelling from Kenya to Armenia, check the current rules on the official portal or with the relevant embassy. The e-Visa allows a maximum stay of 120 days in Armenia, without stating the visa validity period.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, holders of a Kenyan passport must apply online for an Armenian e-Visa before departing for Armenia. Nationals of the 57 countries on the former “invitation only” list, including Kenya, have only been able to apply for an Armenian e-Visa since 16 June 2026, when government decision 643-N abolishing that list entered into force. The measure was presented as temporary and linked to the Yerevan COP17, from 19 to 30 October 2026, and the invitation requirement may be restored after the conference. The “invitation only” list still published by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is dated 2 February 2024 and does not reflect this repeal. For travel from November 2026, confirm the position with an Armenian embassy or consulate before booking.
How much does an e-visa for Armenia cost from Kenya?
15,000 AMD
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.
What does a visa for Armenia really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government fee15,000 AMD
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for an e-visa for Armenia?
The exact list for Armenia is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- 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.
Documents and fees
Check the documents to upload and the applicable requirements directly on the Armenian official portal, which is the authoritative source for your application. The observed official price is 15000 AMD. Do not rely on document lists from intermediaries when they differ from the official portal or an Armenian embassy.

How to apply

If any instruction is unclear, contact the relevant Armenian embassy or consulate before completing the application.
Where do you apply for a visa for Armenia from Kenya?
An e-visa for Armenia is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in Kenya on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Kenya 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.

How long does an e-visa for Armenia take?
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
No processing time is stated here, so consult the Armenian official portal before setting travel dates. Submit the application before departure and review all entered information carefully. The e-Visa permits a maximum stay of 120 days in Armenia, which is not the visa validity period or a processing time.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Do not wait until arrival in Armenia to apply, as travellers holding a Kenyan passport must have the e-Visa before departure. Avoid unofficial intermediary websites, which may charge additional service fees. Always verify the applicable status through the official portal or an Armenian embassy, especially for travel from November 2026.
