Visa and Travel Information

NAGORNO KARABAKH REPUBLIC VISA GUIDELINES

To visit Nagorno Karabakh, foreign nationals require an entry visa. Nagorno Karabakh visas are issued by the Consular Section of the NKR Permanent Representation in Armenia, located at:

17-A Zarian Street
Yerevan, Armenia

The consular section is open daily from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm except Sundays. In special circumstances, a visa may be issued at the NKR Foreign Ministry in Stepanakert.

Visitors may get either a 7-day or a 21-day visa to enter Nagorno Karabakh. The 7-day visa costs $25 and the 21-day visa costs $35-$45 depending on the type of service (regular, expedited or same-day). There is also a $2 processing fee on all visas. At the consular section you will be asked to fill out a visa application form and submit one photo (3x4cm), along with your valid foreign passport.

The following individuals are exempt from visa fees:

  • Citizens of Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan;
  • Individuals younger than 16 years of age;
  • Representatives of international organizations accredited in the NKR;
  • Foreign nationals and their family members, who visit NKR at the invitation of the NKR President, National Assembly Speaker, Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.

Foreign citizens who have been granted entry visas will have to register at the NKR Foreign Ministry upon their arrival in Stepanakert and coordinate their travel routes with the Consular Department of the Foreign Ministry. This is a security precaution due to the still unresolved armed conflict with the Azerbaijani Republic. Violators of this temporary requirement are subject to applicable NKR laws.

Currently visitors can enter the NKR only through the territory of the Republic of Armenia. An Armenian visa may be obtained at the consular section of the Armenian Embassy in Washington, DC or at the Armenian Consulate in Los Angeles, CA.

For further questions regarding NKR visas, please contact the Consular Section of the NKR Permanent Representation in Armenia at (374-1) 24-97-05 or ankr@arminco.com.
