Do I need a visa for Armenia from Maldives?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Yes. Maldivian passport holders need a visa to visit Armenia. They can get it online through the official e-Visa before departure or, at certain entry points such as Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan, on arrival.

This guide is for Maldivian travellers planning a trip to Armenia. There is no direct flight from the Maldives: routes usually connect through the Gulf before reaching Yerevan. Exact amounts, validity and timelines change over time, so always confirm the details on the official portal evisa.mfa.am before booking.

Do you need a visa?

A tourist trip to Armenia is not visa-free for Maldivian travellers. The visa can be obtained online (e-Visa) before departure or on arrival at certain entry points. It is an individual requirement: every traveller, including children who hold their own passport, needs their own authorisation.

How and where to apply

From Malé, the simplest route for a Maldivian traveller is the official portal evisa.mfa.am: create an account, complete the form, and upload a photo and the passport bio-data page. The e-Visa is emailed to you to print before the flight. A visa on arrival is still possible at some border posts, but applying online avoids queues and uncertainty.

Documents and fees

Prepare a passport valid for at least six months beyond your planned entry date, a digital passport photo, and, if requested, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. The visa fee and validity are shown during the application on the official portal; we do not publish a price because it can change. Have a payment card ready for the online transaction.

Processing times and tips

Processing of an Armenian e-Visa usually takes a few business days but is not guaranteed, so apply well ahead of departure from Malé. Check every field (spelling of your name, passport number), since a mistake can invalidate the authorisation. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa throughout the trip.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistakes: relying on a visa on arrival that is not guaranteed, entering the wrong passport number, or travelling on a passport with less than six months' validity. Also avoid paid intermediary websites: the only official application is at evisa.mfa.am. Finally, check any health requirements (such as yellow fever) with the official source.
