Entering Armenia after Azerbaijan.

[jpark1444]

I'm planning on visiting the three Caucasus countries in the coming months (Azerbaijan --> Georgia --> Armenia). This was definitely possible in the past, and I've seen many posts from people who have done this itinerary.

However, with the recent armed conflicts in the region, I was wondering if there are any issues with entering Armenia after visiting azerbaijan. I plan on entering Armenia through an overnight train from Georgia. Has anyone entered Armenia after going to Azerbaijan recently? Is this still possible?

I visited Azerbaijan last year april, and armenia in july. It’s possible and fine, but good chance you’ll get some questions. I as a white privileged boy hardly ever get questions, and here I got them. Where did I stay what did I do, what was my purpose there etc. Stupidly I answered that I was visiting a friend in Baku (which I did), but that turned into a ‘how did you get a friend in azerbaijan, who is it, what did you do there’ situation. It felt like it would’ve been a lot less stressful if I had just stuck with the ‘tourism’ story.

Anyways, it’s not that they took me apart or anything. Just some delay at the armenian border counter.

I visited Armenia a month ago and Azerbaijan last year. Policewoman at the border (airport) just asked me:
-Purpose of visit to Azerbaijan?
me: -tourism
her:

You're good

zero problems this year, back to back visit

i drove from GE to AM, so land entry.

i didnt get asked but i know the AM border officer saw my AZ stamp , as he stamped across from it

the AM officer supplied my answer for me, "you are a tourist?"

Hi, similar question, I am going to Baku then Georgia then Yerevan for tourism on an EU passport, so all should be fine, right? Many thanks.

Easier to visit armenia after azerbaijan than the opposite...

yes, pretty much everyone who responded here visit AZ first, then only AM

GE border is quite relaxed in my experience but i know they are quite tough towards selected nationalities (indians, GCCs) based on multiple reports
