Do I need a visa for Armenia from Turkey?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Turkish nationals need a visa for Armenia, but they can obtain it online (e-Visa) before travelling.
A Turkish citizen wishing to travel to Yerevan must apply for an Armenian visa before departure. The simplest route is the official e-Visa, completed online, with the connection in practice made by air to Zvartnots airport. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the prior electronic authorisation is recommended.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: Turkish travellers must obtain a visa to enter Armenia. The recommended format is the e-Visa, applied for online before the flight to Yerevan. The Turkish passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
How and where to apply
The official portal evisa.mfa.am is the main channel for Turkish applicants, with the whole procedure handled online. You open a file, enter the passport details and pay by card online. The approved visa is received by email and presented in printed form on arrival in Yerevan.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Turkish passport valid 6 months beyond the stay, a digital photo and the address of your accommodation in Armenia. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here — check them on the official portal before paying. A return ticket and proof of means may be requested.
Processing and tips
Because the processing time is not guaranteed here, submit your application several days before departure. Carefully verify that the entered information matches the passport. As entry is most often made by air to Yerevan, confirm the arrangements for your point of entry on the official source.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is banking on visa on arrival when it is not guaranteed at every entry point; the e-Visa is safer. Watch for data-entry errors and a passport whose validity is too short. Pay the fee only on the official website to avoid unauthorised intermediaries.
