Vietnam to Armenia visa requirements

Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Armenia. The simplest option is the official Armenian eVisa (apply online at evisa.mfa.am) — a 21-day single-entry costs AMD 3,000 (~USD 8) and a 120-day single-entry costs AMD 15,000 (~USD 38). A visa on arrival for up to 120 days (AMD 15,000) is also available at Yerevan airport and land borders. Armenia is not visa-free for Vietnamese ordinary passport holders, and it is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 or ETIAS rule applies. Vietnam appears on Armenia's eVisa-eligible list (Asia/Middle East category), so the recommended route for a short tourist visit is the government eVisa obtained in advance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal evisa.mfa.am. Two products exist: a 21-day single-entry visa (AMD 3,000, roughly USD 8) and a 120-day single-entry visa (AMD 15,000, roughly USD 38). Standard processing is up to 3 business days. Vietnamese nationals can alternatively obtain a visa on arrival (up to 120 days, AMD 15,000) at Zvartnots International Airport and main land borders, but the eVisa is cheaper for short trips and avoids queues. Travelers holding a valid visa or residence permit from the US, EU/Schengen, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea or Russia may enter visa-free regardless of nationality. Passport should be valid for at least the duration of stay (commonly recommended 3 months beyond). All eVisas are single-entry; re-entry requires a new visa.
