Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit AM?

German (DE) ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Armenia. As EU citizens they enter visa-free and may stay up to 180 days within any one-year period for tourism or short visits. Germany is on Armenia's unilateral visa-free list (all EU member states), so German ordinary passport holders need no visa, e-visa or visa-on-arrival for tourism. The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms visa-exempt nationals may remain in Armenia without a visa for up to 180 days within any one-year period. There is no entry fee and no online registration to complete before travel; you simply present your passport at the border. The passport should be valid for the duration of stay (allow at least 3 months of remaining validity to be safe). Armenia is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and the EU's ETIAS scheme do not apply to entering Armenia. Note that separate, temporary residence-permit-based exemption programs Armenia has run in 2025-2026 are aimed at non-visa-free nationalities and are irrelevant to German citizens, who already have full visa-free access. As of 30 May 2026 this is the current position; travelers should still confirm with the Armenian MFA or the Armenian Embassy in Berlin shortly before departure as policies can change.
