Armenia, Molgolia to liberalize visa regime

ArmInfo.Armenia liberalizes visa regime for Mongolian citizens.  Proposals to sign a protocol on  amendments to the relevant agreement signed on September 28, 2018 between the governments of the two countries were approved on November 7 at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic  of Armenia.

As stated in the explanatory note to the document, since the  establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Mongolia  (February 21, 1992), bilateral relations have developed very slowly.  At the same time, there is a certain potential for the development of  relations.

In recent years, efforts have been intensified to expand the  bilateral legal framework. Currently, an agreement   is at the signing stage.

On September 28, 2018, the Agreement on the abolition of the visa  regime for persons with diplomatic and service passports was signed  between the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Government  of Mongolia (came into force on June 2, 2019). The Mongolian side  proposed to amend the above-mentioned agreement, exempting persons  with ordinary passports from the visa regime.

-, the document says. The purpose of the  Protocol is to exempt citizens of each participating State, holding  ordinary valid passports, from the need to obtain permits to enter,  exit, transit and reside in each other's territory for a period not  exceeding 30 days from the date of entry.
