Armenia and EU Review Progress on Visa Liberalisation in High-Level Talks
Armenia and EU Advance Visa Liberalisation Talks as Action Plan Nears Completion
Armenia continues to make steady progress toward achieving visa liberalisation with the European Union, with recent high-level discussions reaffirming mutual commitment to the process.
Armenia’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Arpine Sargsyan, met recently with Ambassador Vassilis Maragos, Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia, to discuss the ongoing visa liberalisation process. According to Armen Press, the meeting also addressed active cooperation programs in the fields of law enforcement and emergency rescue services.
Visa Liberalisation Action Plan Expected by June
In April, Nelly Davtyan, Head of the Migration and Citizenship Service of Armenia's Interior Ministry, confirmed that the EU-Armenia visa liberalisation action plan is expected to be finalised by June 2025.
“The action plan will be developed by June, and it will no longer be a negotiable document. Based on the experience of other countries that have finalised similar agreements, we’ll be able to predict concrete requirements tied to clearly defined targets,” said Davtyan.
He added that key steps for progress include the introduction of biometric passports and national identification cards, aligning Armenia with EU data security and border control standards.
Greece Reaffirms Support for Armenia’s EU Integration Goals
In a strong show of support, Greek Ambassador to Armenia, Christos Sofianopoulos, expressed Greece’s full backing of Armenia’s visa liberalisation efforts with the EU. His endorsement came after a bilateral meeting with Minister Sargsyan last month.
During the meeting, both parties emphasized the importance of deepening political and technical cooperation, particularly in the context of strengthening Armenia-EU relations.
Biometric Documents Coming in 2026
Armenia has confirmed that biometric passports and electronic ID cards will be introduced in the first half of 2026. These upgrades are a crucial requirement in aligning with EU standards and are expected to significantly support the visa liberalisation roadmap.
