Under the residence exemption there is no paperwork to arrange; if you take the 21-day e-Visa instead, apply at least two weeks ahead. ### Family and longer stays The 180-day allowance runs across a one-year period, so families splitting a summer between Yerevan, Dilijan and Lake Sevan stay well inside it. For anyone in the household whose residence card is close to expiry, the 120-day e-Visa covers the same trip. ### Business travel and repeat trips Frequent travellers usually prefer the 120-day e-Visa: one approval, several trips inside its validity, and a document to show at check-in when an airline agent is unsure about the residence rule. ## Armenia Visa for UAE Residents — FAQ ### Does my Emirates ID alone qualify for the Armenia visa-free exemption? ### My UAE residence expires in 4 months.
