Do I need a visa for Armenia from Kenya?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Kenyan nationals must obtain a visa for Armenia. The main channel is the online electronic visa (e-Visa); a consular application is possible where the e-Visa does not cover your case.
From Nairobi, Armenia requires a visa from Kenyan travellers. The application is made mainly online, on the official portal of Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs; because Armenia has only a limited diplomatic presence in East Africa, the e-Visa is usually the most practical route. This guide summarises the steps and the checks to make.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, a visa is required for Kenyan passport holders. Still, confirm the category and permitted stay on the official source, as conditions can vary with the purpose of your trip.
How and where to apply
Start with the e-Visa at evisa.mfa.am: online account, form and payment. If a consular procedure is required, contact the Armenian diplomatic mission responsible for Kenya; with limited consular coverage in the region, the e-Visa often remains the simplest option from Nairobi.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The fee is not confirmed here: check the official rate on evisa.mfa.am or with the consulate before paying.
Processing and tips
No processing time is guaranteed in this guide, so file your application with some margin. Keep the e-Visa confirmation, printed or on your phone, for entry to Armenia.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse the Armenian e-Visa with any transit visa required by a connecting country: check every layover. Finally, confirm the passport details match exactly and the six-month validity holds before paying.
