Armenia travel guide for Britons

UK passport holders do not need a visa for tourism or business stays up to 180 days. Apply for an e‑visa only if you need a longer stay, work, study or residence.

A valid UK passport (at least 6 months beyond your intended departure) is required. No visa is needed for visits up to 180 days. If you plan to stay longer, obtain an e‑visa online before travel; the process takes 3‑5 business days.

Proof of onward travel or sufficient funds may be asked at the border. Check the UK government travel advice for any temporary health or security restrictions.
