TOURINFO-YEREVAN-On January 19, 2020, the agreement on abolishing the visa regime between Armenia and China entered into force. Armenian and Chinese citizens will now be able to travel or transit in the host country’s territory for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days without a visa. Any stay over 90 days, and stay for the purposes of work and study will require application for a visa in advance.
This step firstly shows the high level of relations, mutual respect, and trust between the two countries. This is a necessary step both from economic, cultural and tourism perspectives. The citizens of the two countries can freely travel to Armenia-China and vice versa without any documentary procedure.
According to the data of the Statistical Service, 8430 Chinese citizens visited Armenia in 2018, but in 2019, their number was nearly 14500.
