Restrictions on the entry of non-Armenian citizens to the Republic of Armenia have been lifted, and Indian travellers are now permitted to enter via air or land borders.

Infants upto 1-year old (0-11 months 29 days) are exempted from presenting both these certificates.

Testing requirement

All international arrivals over the age of one, including Armenian citizens must provide proof of COVID-19 PCR test negative result taken 72 hours before arrival. Travellers entering without the negative test certificate will be tested upon arrival at the airport.
