EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, praised Armenia’s progress in the visa liberalization dialogue.

“Today, I held meetings with the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia, discussing the remarkable progress Armenia has made in the visa liberalization process. This is very important: since the dialogue began in 2024, progress has been steady, and the EU provided Armenia with the visa liberalization action plan in November 2025. Significant advances have been made regarding document security, migration management, and biometric passports and ID cards, which Armenian citizens will soon be able to obtain,” said Brunner, adding that one of the purposes of his visit is to encourage Armenia to continue implementing these reforms.

According to Brunner, the next phase of the process will be a report on the progress of implementing the visa liberalization action plan, which is scheduled to be presented in May of this year during the EU–Armenia summit.
