4. Attach the following documents to the e-mail (in .pdf format): a scan of the passport data page, a scan of the proof of purpose of travel (this is not required in the case of travel for tourism purposes), and a scan of the valid residence permit (in the case of third-country nationals). In case of non-touristic groups, send a scan of group invitation.

5. Applicants who are not citizens of the countries belonging to the territorial jurisdiction of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Yerevan must also attach proof that they have legal residence status in Armenia. If residence cannot be proven, the applicant must submit the application in their home country.

6. 1 applicant = 1 e-mail. Submit only one email per applicant. Only one applicant can be submitted in each email. In the case of travel for the purpose of tourism or visiting relatives and friends, spouses and their minor children may be registered together.

7. Your e-mail will be processed electronically by a system based on a randomized element.

8. The following emails will be disqualified from the registration process:

(i) emails that are not sent in the format specified in point 2 and 3

(ii) emails that do not include the attachments referred to in point 4,

iii) emails in which the applicant attempts to register multiple applicants in one submission** - except for emails from family or parents registering their minor children (for purpose of tourism or visiting family or friends) and registrations via yerevan.group@mzv.gov.cz mailbox,

(iv) emails that are sent multiple times by one applicant,

v) emails sent outside the specified registration period,

vi) emails with attachments larger than 10 MB.

9. Wait for the confirmation. The Embassy will inform you within 7 days whether or not a submission date has been assigned.

10. If you do not receive confirmation of an assigned appointment within 7 days, it implies that your registration for an appointment was either unsuccessful or was not sent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the registration process.

11. The assigned date cannot be changed. If you fail to show up for your appointment, the assigned date becomes invalid. If you arrive late without prior apology, your appointment will also be cancelled - in such a case, the Embassy will proceed with other applicants who arrived on time.

Current average waiting time for submission of the application: 3 - 15 days

Number of applications accepted for a given period: 240
