YEREVAN, September 22. /ARKA/. Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan and Montenegrin Minister of Tourism Simonida Kordić met in Yerevan on Tuesday to discuss expanding tourism cooperation, increasing mutual tourist flows, and the potential for developing new destinations.
According to the press service of the Armenian Ministry of Economy, rural tourism was identified as a promising area for cooperation during the meeting, which took place on the sidelines of an international medical tourism conference in Yerevan. In this context, the minister emphasized the importance of studying Montenegro's experience and exchanging best practices.
The parties also discussed prospects for further cooperation and the creation of new opportunities.
In October 2025, Montenegro suspended visa-free entry for citizens of Armenia and several other countries as part of its obligations regarding EU accession preparations. Previously, Armenian citizens could visit Montenegro visa-free for short-term tourism purposes. In late July of this year, the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry announced plans to open a VFS Global visa center in Armenia, which would facilitate visa applications for Montenegro.
Citizens of Montenegro do not require a visa to travel to Armenia and may stay in the country for up to 180 days.
