Boosting Tourist Arrivals

New visa policy facilitates visits to Armenia

By eTN Staff Writer | Jun 12, 2009

In unprecedented steps to boost tourist arrivals, Armenia has introduced a new shorter-stay visa for guests.

Until recently, most visitors to the country could only obtain a 120-day visa at a cost of around US$40. The new legislation means that 21-day visas can also be obtained at the airport in Yerevan upon arrival at a cost of AMD 3000 or just over US$8.

Although the majority of visitors to Armenia do require visas, they are easy to obtain from Armenian embassies overseas, at the border points, and online as e-visas.

For more information, contact the Armenian Tourism Development Agency at info@armeniainfo.am.
