Summer trip, anyone?
UAE residents with at least six months of valid residency from their arrival date can now enter Armenia visa-free—no matter which of the seven emirates you call home.

This move is all about boosting tourism and business connections across the Gulf.
Why Armenia is a great summer escape
Just a quick three-hour flight from the UAE, Armenia is a hidden summer hotspot waiting to be explored. With stunning mountain views, ancient monasteries, delicious local eats, and budget-friendly vibes, it’s the perfect cool, green escape from the desert heat.
Plus, with visa hassles off the table, spontaneous weekend getaways or week-long adventures have never been easier to plan.
