Talk:Visa policy of Armenia

Switzerland is included
Switzerland is included in 10 Jan 2013 deal. Should have green colour as most European states. --Anatoli (talk) 11:38, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Even though some media outlets may be reporting as such, the official list at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists the visa waiver for Switzerland as only applying to diplomatic passports. The reason for this discrepancy may be:


 * a) Switzerland is neither part of the European Union nor of the European Economic Area. Thus the visa waiver intended for those countries may simply not apply to Swiss citizens.
 * b) The list at the foreign ministry might be wrong, but we would need very good sources to contradict this, i.e. the Armenian embassy in Berne, the travel advisory of the Swiss foreign ministry or similar source. Media outlets (unfortunately) get these things wrong all the time and thus can't really be used as sources that supersede official documents unless there is a very good reason to do so.

 * The Armenian foreign ministry has now updated their list to inlude Switzerland. See http://www.mfa.am/u_files/file/consulate/Visa/visafreelisteng.pdf Travelbird (talk) 11:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

India is mis-colored
India is colored red on the map, visa available on invitation. Yet both the text of the page and Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs's list (http://www.mfa.am/u_files/file/consulate/Visa/invitation_only_eng.pdf) exclude India as needing an invitation. Could someone who knows how to change the map do so? 122.176.32.138 (talk) 10:29, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Map doesn't mention invitation at all, it only says countries whose citizens must obtain a visa in a diplomatic or consular office of Armenia instead on arrival.--Twofortnights (talk) 10:33, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Iran -Armenia visa-free agreement.
Good afternoon. Armenia and Iran signed the agreement 5 June 2016. Began a process of ratification of the document. I don't know the process of ratification of agreements between Armenia and Iran. Media info. 15 June - The Armenian Parliament ratified the agreement. The President of Armenia has not signed yet. 10 July - The Cabinet of Ministers of Iran approved the agreement. (although earlier it was reported "Iran on June 8 completed all internal procedures for approval of the agreement"). As a rule, after the ratification follows the exchange of diplomatic notes. Under the agreement, it shall enter into force after a certain period. I couldn't find the text of the agreement. The websites of ministries of foreign Affairs of Armenia and Iran have not reported about about the beginning of application of the agreement. --Norvikk (talk) 10:07, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Indian nationals holding permanent residence of GCC countries
Indian nationals holding permanent residence of GCC countries (excluding Sadi Arabia) also can apply for e-visa or receive it on arrival. How is it possible to mention that in this article?37.157.219.192 (talk) 15:21, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Begabler37.157.219.192 (talk) 15:21, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Qatar
Republic of Armenia has established visa-free regime for Qatari citizens starting from the 1st of June, 2017. The colour on the map can already be changed into dark-green. 92.43.141.100 (talk) 19:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Begabler
 * The decision will be on the government's agenda on June 1. It will be adopted of course but when it will be implemented remains to be seen.--Twofortnights (talk) 08:29, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Israeli diplomatic passports
An agreement was signed on the 25th of July between Armenia and Israel on mutual visa exemption for holders of diplomatic passports of both countries.

Albania, Lebanon, Tajikistan, Canada
180 days visa-free as of July 10 it would seem. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/939112 --RaffiKojian (talk) 02:39, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Changing the colours on the map
Canada, Albania, Lebanon and Turkmenistan should be Visa Free (180 days), similar to Russia, EU, USA etc.

Tajikistan should be Visa Free (90 days), similar to the colours of Iran and Macao.

Mongolia
The agreement for Mongolian diplomatic and official passports is already ratified: http://www.panarmenian.net/eng/news/263145/Armenian_diplomats_will_travel_to_Mongolia_visafree
 * Thanks, but it's not yet implemented as both parties need to ratify.--Twofortnights (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
