Armenia Long-Term E-Visa

The main differences are the duration of stay and cost:

• Short-Term E-Visa: Allows stays of up to 21 days and costs from $7 (standard processing)
• Long-Term E-Visa: Allows stays of up to 120 days and costs from $31 (standard processing)

Both visa types offer single, double, and multiple entry options, but the Long-Term E-Visa is better suited for extended tourism, business activities, or visiting family and friends for longer periods.

No, the Long-Term E-Visa does not permit employment in Armenia. It is designed for tourism, visiting family and friends, or business activities such as meetings and conferences.

If you intend to work in Armenia, you need to:

1. Have a job offer from an Armenian employer
2. The employer must obtain work permit approval for you
3. Apply for a work visa or residence permit

Working without proper authorization can result in fines, deportation, and future entry bans.

Yes, you can apply for a visa extension at the Passport and Visa Department of the Police of the Republic of Armenia in Yerevan. Extensions can be granted for up to 60 additional days.

To apply for an extension, you need to:

• Visit the Passport and Visa Department before your current visa expires
• Submit an application form and required documents
• Provide justification for your extended stay
• Pay the extension fee (approximately 15,000-25,000 AMD)

For stays beyond 180 days, you may need to apply for a temporary residence permit. Visit our Visa Extension page for detailed information.

With a multiple-entry Long-Term E-Visa, you can enter and exit Armenia an unlimited number of times during the 120-day validity period. This makes it ideal for travelers who plan to use Armenia as a base while exploring neighboring countries.

Important considerations for multiple-entry visas:

• The 120-day validity period begins from your first entry into Armenia
• Each entry and exit is recorded by immigration authorities
• You must exit Armenia before the 120-day period expires
• Time spent outside Armenia still counts toward the 120-day period

Multiple-entry visas cost slightly more than single or double-entry visas but offer maximum flexibility for regional travelers.
