Under the new policy, eligible nationals can stay in Armenia for up to 180 days within a one-year period. The residence permit must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry.

The residence permit must be presented either as a physical card or as a sticker placed in the passport, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia said in a document.

Armenia introduced visa-free travel for citizens of the UAE in 2017, Qatar in 2019 and Kuwait in 2022. It extended the visa exemption to UAE residents in July 2025.

Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Armenia is a popular travel destination for UAE residents, particularly expatriates. The country is just a three-hour flight from the UAE, with airlines such as flydubai, Air Arabia and Wizz Air operating direct flights.

The country boasts picturesque landscapes, UNESCO-listed monasteries and a thriving culinary scene.
