The RA government plans to temporarily ease the migration restrictions that have been in place for many years in order to facilitate the entry of delegates to the upcoming COP17 international conference into the country.

Within the framework of preparations for the large-scale event, representatives of certain states will have the opportunity to issue visas in a much faster and modern procedure.

According to the project jointly developed by the Ministries of Environment and Foreign Affairs, as well as the National Security Service, the E-VISA electronic system will be available for individual groups of international guests.

Since 2008, citizens of these countries could get an Armenian visa exclusively through diplomatic missions and consulates, only in case of a mandatory invitation.

It is expected that this innovation will significantly optimize organizational processes and ensure a smooth and comfortable arrival of foreign participants to Armenia.
