Visiting Armenia: Nepali citizen → Armenia
You need a visa — consular application with an invitation
Nepal passport holders are on the official MFA list of nationalities that can apply for an Armenian visitor visa only at the diplomatic representations or consular posts of the Republic of Armenia abroad — and only with an invitation from Armenia. The e-Visa portal is not available for this passport.
The bottom line
- Armenian visitor visas are issued for a maximum of 120 days, with the possibility to extend for another 60 days (extensions are handled by the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).
- The invitation is submitted in Armenia through the unified portal e-request.am by a registered legal entity, a government agency, or an accredited embassy or international organization; individuals submit invitations to the Migration and Citizenship Service. The consular fee for the invitation is AMD 5,000.
- Temporary exemption (1 July 2026 – 1 July 2027): nationals of the 111 officially listed countries who hold a valid residence permit of the US, an EU member state, a Schengen state, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Oman — valid for at least six months from the date of entry — are exempt from the visa requirement and can stay up to 180 days within a one-year period.
- The MFA notes this invitation limitation is obsolete for citizens of the listed countries who are of Armenian nationality (ethnic Armenians).
