Armenia — visa-free for residents of the US, EU and the Gulf, for one year
From 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027, citizens of 111 countries who hold a residence permit from the US, the EU/Schengen area, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Oman (valid at least 6 more months) may enter Armenia without a visa for up to 180 days a year. This can override the normal rule for your passport — an Indian or Nigerian citizen living in Dubai no longer needs an Armenian visa. Our matrix answers by passport alone and cannot see your residence permit, so check the list if you hold one.
