Our guide to the Armenia visa from Sao Tome and Principe
Travelers holding a Sao Tome and Principe passport must obtain an e-Visa or electronic authorization online before departing for Armenia. Visa on arrival is not available to Sao Tome and Principe nationals.
The application for Armenia must be submitted through the official portal before travel. Check the information entered and the requested supporting documents directly on that official source. Avoid third-party websites that charge additional service fees.
Do you need a visa?
Sao Tome and Principe nationals must apply online for an Armenian e-Visa or electronic authorization before traveling to Armenia. Nationals of the 57 countries on the former “by invitation” list, including Sao Tome and Principe, have only been able to apply for an Armenian e-Visa since June 16, 2026, when government decision 643-N repealing that list entered into force. The measure was presented as temporary and linked to the Yerevan COP17, held from October 19 to October 30, 2026, and the invitation requirement may be reinstated after the conference. The “by invitation” list still published by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is dated February 2, 2024 and does not reflect this repeal. For travel from November 2026, confirm the situation with the Armenian embassy or consulate before booking.

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
Do not arrive in Armenia expecting to apply for a visa on arrival, as this option is not open to holders of a Sao Tome and Principe passport.

Do not rely only on the former “by invitation” list published by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
