  2. Current official routeVisa-free

    Ordinary passports returned as visa-free by the live MFA checker

    For an ordinary PASSPORT and tourism/relatives purpose, the current MFA E-Visa eligibility endpoint returns ALLOW_WITHOUT_VISA for these passports.

    • The checked route is ordinary PASSPORT (document type 167) and visitor purpose TOURISM_RELATIVES; it does not decide non-ordinary documents, work, residence, transit, or admission discretion.
    • The separate residence-permit programme is not this nationality-only result: it requires the stated six-month-valid qualifying permit and is active from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027.

  3. Current official routeeVisa

    Ordinary passports returned as eVisa-eligible by the live MFA checker

    For an ordinary PASSPORT and tourism/relatives purpose, the current MFA E-Visa eligibility endpoint returns ALLOWED_FOR_EVISA for these non-exempt, non-invitation-listed passports.

    • The live response is an advance electronic-visa route for ordinary PASSPORT and TOURISM_RELATIVES; it is not an arrival-visa classification even where a separate API field mentions border processing.
    • The temporary residence-permit exemption is conditional on a qualifying physical/sticker permit with at least six months' validity and ends 1 July 2027; it does not replace the passport-only baseline.

    Ordinary passports returned as consulate-only

    The current MFA E-Visa eligibility endpoint returns ONLY_CONSULATE for these ordinary-passport tourism/relatives queries.

    • Sudan and Togo also appear on the MFA's published invitation-only list. Kosovo is consulate-only in the live checker but is not named on that list.
    • This is not a classification for diplomatic, official, service, refugee, alien, transit, residence, work, or case-specific documents and purposes.

  5. Current official routeVisa required

    Invitation-only ordinary passports: advance visitor visa at an Armenian mission or consular post

    The current MFA schedule expressly places every listed passport nationality in an invitation-only visitor-visa route at Armenian diplomatic representations or consular posts abroad.

    • This is an ordinary short-visitor passport classification. The MFA schedule applies to the citizens and holders of travel documents of these countries; it requires an invitation and application only at Armenian diplomatic representations or consular posts abroad.
    • The current official legal procedure reserves electronic entry visas for nationals outside the invitation-only list. This cohort is therefore advance mission/consular visa required, not eVisa or visa on arrival.
    • A qualifying foreign residence permit creates a separate conditional temporary exemption through 1 July 2027; it does not replace this ordinary-passport baseline. Diplomatic, official, service, work, residence, transit, asylum, and final-admission routes remain separate.
