Armenia does not provide any visa-free entry to regular Indian passport holders, or even a visa-on-arrival unless a special case exists in which the traveler holds a valid USA, UK, Schengen, GCC, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, or Korean visa/residence permit. The majority of Indian tourists and business visitors have to pre-authorize e-visa or sticker visa in advance. It may apply to Indian diplomatic passport holders, who can be given a short-termed visa-free stay, but does not apply to ordinary passengers.
