Republic of Artsakh Visa Information

The entry of foreign citizens to the Republic of Artsakh is allowed on the availability of valid foreign passports or other documents replacing them, an entrance visa of Artsakh, with payment of corresponding state customs.

WHERE TO OBTAIN:
Travelers can get their visa either in Yerevan, or Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh. Both options are fine, but if you prefer saving time, then I’d suggest to get it in Stepanakert. Note that if you choose to do so, then the first thing you should do upon arrival in the capital is to report yourself to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and get the visa.
