Overview
MATERIAL CORRECTION: Bangladesh is NOT eligible for Armenia's standard self-service eVisa or Visa-on-Arrival — confirmed via 4 independent sources. Bangladeshi ordinary-passport holders fall into Armenia's 'invitation-required' tier (alongside Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Syria and most sub-Saharan African states): a formal invitation letter from an Armenian sponsor (company, individual, or government agency) must be approved by Armenia's MFA before any visa can be issued. Application is via the Armenian Embassy in New Delhi (Armenia has no mission in Dhaka). A Bangladesh-focused visa agency cites approx. USD 38-51 for the resulting Tourist/Business visit visa (single-source figure, not independently cross-checked against an official Armenian consular fee schedule this session — treat as indicative, not confirmed).
Visa types: Tourist/Business Visit Visa (requires MFA-approved invitation letter; ~USD 38-51 per a secondary source); Student Visa (~USD 83); Work Visa (~USD 102); Family Visit; Residency Permit; Diplomatic. Standard self-service eVisa and Visa-on-Arrival are NOT available to Bangladeshi ordinary passport holders.
