Armenia e-Visa from Algeria
Last verified: November 2026 (evisa.mfa.am / mfa.am sources)
How do you get a visa for Armenia from Algeria?
Algerians need a visa for Armenia, but it is an e-Visa 100% online on the official portal evisa.mfa.am — no embassy and no pre-travel biometrics. Two durations: 21 days (~$8) or 120 days (~$39), single entry. Multiple-entry visas are not issued through the e-Visa: they are on the consular fee schedule of Armenian embassies. No invitation or hotel booking required (invitation and travel insurance strongly recommended by the Armenian MFA). Processing ~3 working days. ⚠️ Use only evisa.mfa.am. Caucasus note: the e-Visa is not stamped; an Armenian stamp can prompt questioning when entering Azerbaijan (land border closed — transit via Georgia).
