Armenia, the picturesque mountainous country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has exciting news for tourists from the UAE. The country has recently simplified its visa regulations, making it easier for both Emirati citizens and expatriates to explore this hidden gem of the Caucasus.

Not only that, Armenia has also made the process smooth for those with UAE residency visas. Sisian Boghossian MBA, head of Tourism Committee of Armenia, Ministry of Economy, explained, “Citizens from more than 50 countries, including Egypt, India, Iraq, Morocco, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia, may obtain a visa at the Armenian border (on-arrival or by e-visa) if they hold a valid resident card issued by GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) member states, which includes the UAE.”

Armenia’s goal is to encourage cultural exchange, tourism, and deeper connections between the two nations. As they open their doors to UAE tourists, there has never been a better time to explore this captivating destination.
