 View over north western Yerevan by MalenaN You can very easy get an Armenian visa via Internet and that’s what I got in 2003. It costs 60 dollars and take only two business days to issue. You apply for the e-visa at www.armeniaforeignministry.com The e-visa can only be used if you are entering to the airport in Yerevan. When I arrived at Yerevan airport most people seemed to apply for the visa there. It cost 30 dollars and you just had to fill in a paper. So the last alternative is much cheaper, but if you want to have everything ready before leaving the e-visa is what you should have. In 2006 I knew there was no problems to apply for the visa at the airport and I got my transit visa as I arrived for 20 dollars. A single entry visa is 30 dollars. You can’t apply for a multiple entry visa at the airport, and you can’t pay in Euros. Leave a Comment

 In one of the small parks of Yerevan by MalenaN Don't change more money at the airport in Yerevan. The rate is very bad. The signs are in Armenian and Russian and no one spoke English when I was there. The sign said 550 and beside it stood 55. It turned out that the 55 was some commission for every dollar you changed. In Yerevan you get between 580 - 586 drams for a dollar (June 2003). The rates above was in 2003. When I left Yerevan in August 2006 the lowest rates in town was 493 drams for a dollar.

 Arami Street, Yerevan by MalenaN The Georgian Embassy in Yerevan is opened between 10.30 - 13.00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (Wednesdays are closed, and of course the day I went there). It opens up again at five o'clock to give back the passports with visas. To have a visa issued in one day costs 75 dollars (they want to have the money in Drams). Otherwise it takes four business days and the price is then about the half. For the application you will need one photo. The woman at the embassy said visas could be issued at one of the boarder crossings from Armenia (don't remember which one) for a cost of 80 dollars. Address: Arami Street 42 (close to the Republic Square) Telephon: 564357, 564183 Fax: 564357 E-mail: georgia@arminco.com Leave a Comment

by Narunj The local currency is Armenian Dram (AMD). The exchange rate is approximately 1 USD = 370 AMD. This exchange rate is not fixed and the dollar has decreased significantly since 2005 against the Dram. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, at banks and at most hotels as well as in many exchange points throughout the city. There are a number of ATMs in the center of Yerevan. Armenia remains largely a cash-only economy. Credit cards are accepted at some businesses, at major hotels and restaurants in Yerevan, but rarely outside of the capital. Limited facilities exist for cashing traveler's checks and wiring money into the country.

by IngaA It is perhaps the most popular place for tourists and for locals. It is the ancient whole cathedral complex, the point #1 for Armenian Apostolic church and residence of the Catholicos, it's head. Teh cathedral dates back to IV-VII centuries. It also keeps collection of ancient armenian golden and silver decorations. Leave a Comment

As it was a time of Soviet Union black market activities of all kind were very popular and there was lack of everything. So I made a good business and sold many shirts etc.

After being in Addis where they are few and far between in Dec it was nice to be able to use my ATM rather than carry cash aroundor travelers checks which I hate. It seems there is a ATM on every corner here. If you are conserned about security, there is one in the HSBC branch with a security guard around the corner from the Marriot that will take all cards. Visa and other credit cards are taken here but from time to time you may hear..."Sorry but our credit card reader is down..can you pay in cash?" Leave a Comment

Almost any body can get a visa on the boarder or Airport. It is a straight foward prossess that take about half an hour and costs about 30 US $. I elected get an electronic Visa. It is an online service, you go the seb site http://www.armeniaforeignministry.am/eVisa/faq.htm#Is%20e-Visa%20accepted%20at%20any%20boarder%20point and give them all the relevant information and credit card number and they'll charge you 60 Dollars. 2 days later you end up with your visa in your e mail. You print it and take it with you to teh airport. BE CARFUL, onlie visas are not accepted on land boarders, only good for Airport. Multi-entry visa very trick and could result in headaches. I was told that I need to request it from the Ambassedor him self. Armenian Embassies abroad http://www.armeniaforeignministry.com/ministry/embassiesList.html
