CHANGES OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE VALIDITY ENDORSEMENT IN NON-BIOMETRIC ARMENIAN PASSPORTS TO ENTER INTO FORCE AFTER 1ST JANUARY, 2024

According to the Government Decree of the Republic of Armenia № 1604-N of September 22, 2023, the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia from 1st January 2024 will start issuing ordinary (non-biometric) passports without an endorsement stating the validity of the passport for foreign countries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until 1st January, 2024 ordinary (non-biometric) passports issued to nationals of Armenia must contain an endorsement stating the validity of the passport for foreign countries.

After 1st January 2024, ordinary (non-biometric) passports will be considered valid in foreign countries during the validity period, regardless of the presence of an endorsement stating the validity of the passport for foreign countries on page 4 of the passport.

Important Notice !!!

The requirement of an endorsement stating the validity of the passport for foreign countries has been removed from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Timatic* system.

* - Timatic (Travel Information Manual Automatic) is a database containing documentation requirements for passengers traveling internationally via air, e.g., passport and visa requirements. Timatic is used by airlines and their representatives (check-in agents, managers, etc.), airport staff, and travel agents to determine whether a passenger can be carried, as well as by airlines and travel agents to provide this information to travelers at the time of booking.
