Advice

🛡️ Travel safety

Reconsider your need to travel

You no longer need to show a negative COVID-19 PCR test or vaccination certificate to enter Armenia. Armenia has extended its nationwide COVID-19 quarantine rules, so measures may change at short notice (see 'Travel'). There's no longer a state of emergency/martial law following the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Due to the risk of armed conflict, you're advised not to travel within 5kms of Armenia's border with Azerbaijan. We advise: Reconsider your need to travel to Armenia overall due to the impacts of COVID-19. Higher levels apply in some areas.
