アルメニア：出発前に知っておきたいこと

重要ポイント

  • Land borders with Azerbaijan and Turkey are closed to travellers; enter by air or via Georgia or Iran.
  • Cannabis, CBD and THC products are illegal even with a prescription; drug smuggling carries 4–10 years.
  • Do not photograph military bases, equipment or border posts — visitors have been detained.
  • Russian Mir cards work only at VTB Armenia ATMs/terminals; bring cash or a foreign Visa/Mastercard.
  • Use taxi apps (GG, Yandex Go) rather than street taxis to avoid inflated fares.

入国とビザ

Visa-free for up to 180 days per year for EU, UK, US and CIS citizens and several others. Nationals of 111 countries holding a valid US, EU/Schengen or GCC residence permit (valid 6+ months) are temporarily visa-exempt from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. Others use the official e-Visa (evisa.mfa.am).
