Armenia visa and border crossings

No visa is needed for European citizens and no Carnet de Passage either. However you need to purchase a temporary liability insurance to temporarily import your vehicle. There are several places where you can buy them at the border, but don’t use the first booth and avoid touts. There is an insurance company in Erevan, Ingo, that askes 0,0061% to 3,3% (of the bikes value?) for a third party insurance. Another option is to arrange it beforehand via ASWA.

Border crossings

Only the border crossings with Iran and Georgia are open for foreigners. To go from Armenia into Iran, see the border crossings into Iran. There are three border crossings from Georgia into Armenia:

  • Bagratashen – Sadakhlo on the main road between Erevan and Tbilisi.
  • Gogovan – Guguti which is partly a dirt road and quite scenic, according to Caravanistan.
  • Bavra – Ninotsminda
  • Privolnoe – Akhkerpi the smalles and least used border crossing. It exists, but is nowhere to be found on any travel online travel resource.
