Armenia Sets 2029 Target for EU Visa-Free Travel
Armenia Speeds Up EU Visa Liberalization, Setting 2029 Target for Schengen Access
Armenia has officially targeted 2029 as the completion deadline to achieve visa-free travel with the European Union, Interior Minister Arpineh Sargsyan announced during a diplomatic meeting in Yerevan.
The announcement reflects Armenia's ongoing efforts to align with EU standards and expand travel freedoms for its citizens. Visa liberalization with the Schengen Area would allow Armenians to travel throughout most of Europe without visa requirements, contingent on meeting EU requirements for border security, document standards, and legal frameworks.
The 2029 deadline signals the Armenian government's commitment to modernizing its institutions and regulatory systems to meet European Union criteria. The initiative comes amid Armenia's broader diplomatic engagement with Western institutions following regional geopolitical shifts in the South Caucasus.
