    SCHENGEN ZONE COUNTRIES CITIZENS CAN VISIT ARMENIA WITHOUT A VISA STARTED JANUARY 10

    10:41, 10 January, 2013

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS: Citizens both from EU member 27 states
    and non-member states, namely (Schengen Acquis )four countries Iceland,
    Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland may visit Armenia without a visa
    started January 10. The decision was made during Armenian Government's
    October 4, 2012 session, Armenpress reports.

    The decision stipulates facilitation of entry visa for European
    countries states. It is expected that the abolition of the visa regime
    for the citizens from those countries will have a simulative effect
    on the development of tourism, which in its turn will create more
    favorable conditions for the establishment of active contact amid
    the people. More favorable political and economic environment will
    be formed in the frame of the cooperation amid EU member states.

    Visa facilitation is mainly done by reciprocity principle

    Armenia and the EU signed visa facilitation agreement in Brussels
    on December 17. The Agreement on visa regime facilitation with EU
    considers the facilitation of getting entrance visa to the Schengen
    Area countries for the citizens of the Republic of Armenia. Visa
    regime facilitation comprises certain groups of the citizens of the
    Republic of Armenia. Particularly among them are members of official
    delegations, scientists, students, journalists, athletes and artists
    etc. Also the sides are considering reduction of the visa price to
    EURO 35.

    The positive experience by other countries served a good example for it

    The agreement makes it easier and cheaper for citizens of Armenia,
    in particular those who travel most, to acquire short-stay visas
    allowing them to travel to and freely throughout the EU. A short-stay
    visa is a visa for an intended stay of no more than 90 days per period
    of 180 days.
