NEW SYSTEM OF ACQUIRING A SCHENGEN VISA IN EFFECT FOR ARMENIAN CITIZENS

Tert.am

A new system of obtaining visas to the Schengen Agreement countries
comes into effect beginning today.

Under this new system, in order to obtain a Schengen Visa, Armenian
citizens must show passports that haven’t been renewed past its
original 10-year time period. Besides, the passport must have at
least two free pages for the Schengen Visa. Another requirement is
that the passport should be valid at least three months after the
end of the intended visit.

According to the new system, from now on, a ten-day period is defined
for giving the Schengen Visa. If denied, the embassy in question
should provide the reason why a Schengen Visa was not given.

For individuals above 12, the cost of the visa will be 60 EUR; for
6-12 year-olds, it’ll be 35 EUR. This change in price does not refer
to those countries that have an agreement on simplification of visa
regime with the European Union.
