Armenia visa runs: how the day limits work

Armenia offers a generous visa-free stay, but it is a rolling limit — a border run does not add days.

By passport

Does a border run reset your days?

No. Both limits are rolling windows, not per-entry allowances. Leaving Armenia and coming back does not add days — the window still counts every day you were recently present. To stay beyond the limit you need a residence permit.

Rules can change and may differ by situation. Confirm the current limit for your passport before you travel — this is general information, not legal advice.

How to keep track

Daybound applies your exact Armenia rule and shows how many days you have left.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I stay in Armenia visa-free?

180 days within any 12-month period on a Russian passport; 90 days within any 180 days on a Ukrainian passport.

Does a border run add days?

No. Both are rolling limits, so leaving and returning does not reset the count.

How do I stay longer?

Apply for a residence permit rather than relying on repeated border runs.

Track it automatically
