Almost every embassy in Armenia is in Yerevan, so if something goes wrong outside the capital you will usually be travelling back to the city. Save the details below before you leave, and check each embassy’s official website for current opening hours, because several work by appointment only.

What an embassy can and cannot do
Embassies can issue emergency travel documents, help you contact family, give you a list of local doctors and lawyers, and visit you if you are detained. They cannot pay hospital bills, fund flights home, get you out of legal trouble or act as a lawyer. A good travel insurance policy for Armenia covers the costs that embassies will not, and our health and vaccinations guide explains what to arrange before you fly.
In an emergency
Call 112 first for police, ambulance or fire. Once you are safe, contact your embassy. If you are the victim of a crime, ask the police for a written report, since insurers and embassies both ask for it. Our Armenia safety guide covers the common risks, including the sensitive border regions.
If you lose your passport
- Report the loss or theft to the local police and get a written report.
- Contact your embassy (or the nearest one for your country) and book an appointment for an emergency or replacement travel document. Bring a photocopy or phone photo of your passport, passport photos and the police report.
- Allow time. Emergency documents are often issued within days, but your embassy will confirm the timeline.
- Check your onward travel. If you entered on a visa or e-visa, keep proof of entry; our Armenia entry requirements guide explains the rules, and you should ask the embassy or immigration officials whether an exit document is needed.
Keep digital copies of your passport, insurance policy and these contacts in your email and on your phone, separate from the originals. Details change, so treat the numbers here as a starting point and confirm them with the official government site before you rely on them.
