Kazakhstanis Can Now Enter Armenia With ID Cards, But Registration Is Required

The Senate has ratified two agreements with Armenia — one allowing citizens to travel using internal IDs, and another covering migration cooperation, Orda.kz reports.

Kazakhstanis can now stay in Armenia for up to 90 days within a six-month period using only their national ID, without a foreign passport. Armenian citizens will have the same rights when entering Kazakhstan.

However, there’s a new requirement: Kazakh citizens must register with Armenian police if they remain in the country longer than 30 days.

During the 90 days that you are in Armenia with a Kazakhstani ID, after 30 days you must come to the police and register, stating that you have been in the country since such and such a time,
Deputy Interior Minister Igor Lepekha explained.

Lepekha added that the agreement could be suspended in exceptional cases, such as security threats, migration risks, or epidemics. The second agreement covers data exchange, legal cooperation, and measures against illegal migration and dual citizenship.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is expected to visit Astana at the end of 2025.
