From my experience, it is much more simple to go to Armenia as a US citizen. When I went back to Armenia in 2000, I only had a green card (so just a permanent resident, not a citizen). Needless to say, they treated us like crap at the airports, making us wait for hours upon hours for the "paperwork". I was going to snap, and the only thing that kept me going was that I would be seeing my loved ones after all these years in a day or two. But again, I don't know...this could only be specific to our case as far as I know. But in my opinion, if you have US citizenship, they are less likely to mess with you.

I'm not sure if that answered your question, but I tried. :)

I see your point, thats why I prefer my US citizenship to my Russian and Azeri ones. (Im not even legally suppose to use those two anymore) They can be such bastards. I can only imagine the fun I will have at the airports this summer. Im gonna wear a big cross at the US airports so they dont think Im Muslim and try to strip search me. lol

I wanna know that I need to apply for a seporate visa to Armenia after I get a visa to go to Russia. I ask because Ive heard of people going back and forth there without visa's like its still the same country. It seems to me like I should get seporate visas for both, but Im not sure.

If your still able to visit Russia with your Russian passport then you should, cause getting a visa to russia is a big hassle and is going to cost you a lot of money. I suggest you look into it on their Embassy website. And most likely you would need a visa to enter a foreign land, but maybe for US citizens or Russian citizens they can enter without a visa, you should look into that as well. Just contact the embassy if you cant find the information online.

My mom is taking care of the Russian stuff. I am asking about Armenian visa because my mom doesnt support my desire to visit Armenia from Russia.

Armenia is the second country in the world that allows you to have e-visas. Visit www.armeniaforeignministry.com

It apparently works pretty well. :)

(and whatever you do, don't try using your azeri passport :laugh: )

You can get a visa @ the airport in armenia in about 5 minutes. costs about $20

Did you do this yourself, Harut? That sounds suspicious.

[Harut82]

lol i sure the hell wouldnt go to armenia with a azeri passport.

I can only legally use my US citizenship anyway, since they dont allow us to have multiple citizenships.

Im looking at programs that would take me to Armenia this summer. My mother is not letting me go to my father's relatives, so I would have no place or person there if I just went to visit on my own.
