How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed visitor-visa application and personal New Delhi consular submission | required | visa application | This scope uses a personal application to the Armenian Embassy in New Delhi with an already-approved invitation. Complete the current prescribed form accurately for the actual purpose. The Embassy recommends eVisa generally, but an individual’s approved invitation is expressly described as supporting an embassy/consular application; do not assume the two file processes are identical. Confirm current submission arrangements before attending. |
| Original ordinary passport valid for the whole Armenian stay, plus photocopy | required | visa application | The dedicated India page requires the passport to be valid throughout the stay. Present the original and its photocopy as required by the FAQ. A universal extra three/six-month post-trip validity, Schengen issue-age or blank-page count was not established by these retrieved India visitor sources. |
| One colour photograph, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | The India consular checklist specifies 3.5 by 4.5 cm and the FAQ specifies one colour passport-size photograph. Follow the actual current image-quality and attachment instructions. A universal paper-photo age or notarised-copy requirement was not established. |
| Actual approved invitation for the named applicant, purpose and dates | required | visa application | Provide the invitation and approval/confirmation for this exact trip, already approved by the competent Armenian authority and available to the concerned consular mission. The India-specific page makes supporting invitation evidence mandatory for this branch; India’s absence from the separate invitation-only nationality list does not waive it. Initial host approval is outside this guide. Confirm approval transmission, actual validity/dates, original-versus-copy handling and any current mission requests rather than inventing a universal invitation-age rule. |
| Registered entity’s already-approved MFA invitation | required | visa application | Use the actual registered Armenian entity’s approved invitation and confirmation for the named applicant, genuine purpose and dates. The initial MFA process uses prescribed organisation letterhead, authorised signature/seal and relevant approval documents; it is outside this already-approved scope. A model invitation’s illustrative person/company/date is not copied into an actual application. Retain any specific approval conditions and actual mission requests. |
| Financial coverage and every actual inviter undertaking | required | visa application | Article 11 requires cost-cover information or an undertaking concerning living expenses, possible medical assistance and departure. Preserve the genuine approved arrangements and every signed obligation; personally paid hotel/travel does not erase an undertaking. Neither a sample’s shorter wording nor lack of a recovered complete individual form proves that additional statutory or signed liability is absent. |
| Credible financial means for the trip | required | visa application | The India-specific page lists financial evidence such as the last three months’ bank statement, employment certificate showing salary, employment contract and other proof. Supply genuine evidence establishing this employed applicant’s ability to fund the trip. The page does not clearly state that every parenthesised example is universally cumulative; do not invent a fixed minimum balance, applicant ITR period, bank stamp/sign or certification requirement. |
| Travel medical insurance for the intended trip | required | visa application | The dedicated India page marks travel medical insurance mandatory for the consular branch. Keep an appropriate valid policy for the intended journey. The retrieved India visitor instructions do not establish a universal EUR 30,000 Schengen minimum. |
| Return-flight reservation matching the intended short visit | required | visa application | Provide an air-ticket reservation including return for this short visitor scope. The dedicated page’s one-way exceptions for education/work/other justified cases are not used here. Do not convert a reservation into a universal non-refundable purchase before approval. |
| Applicant covering letter and genuine itinerary | required | visa application | Provide the covering letter required by the India FAQ, identifying the actual purpose, intended dates, host/organiser, accommodation and cost arrangements. Keep it consistent with the approved invitation, return reservation and financial evidence. |
| Actual hotel reservation for this personally funded stay | recommended | visa application | The India Embassy’s list includes hotel reservation without the mandatory-document asterisk applied to passport, form, insurance, invitation, finance, return and fee. This hotel-staying scope retains the actual booking; it is not presented as a universal prepaid package or private-host guarantee requirement. |
| Copies of visa or residence-permit pages from the past three years, if any | conditional | visa application | The consular list asks for copies of passport pages containing visas/residence permits obtained in the past three years. Supply existing relevant pages; no qualifying current foreign visa or permit is assumed and none is invented if the applicant has no such history. |
| Current consular payment and printed receipt | required | visa application | Use the official current consular-fee/payment instructions for the actual visa type, choosing India/New Delhi when the official payment system requests the mission. Retain the payment printout required by the FAQ. An eVisa fee or initial invitation-approval fee is not automatically the consular visa fee. |
| Consular handling and actual visa dates | required | visa application | The India FAQ indicates ten working days for Embassy visa processing. The dedicated page’s three-working-day statement concerns the recommended eVisa channel; it is not promised for this consular file. Initial invitation approval, appointment availability and requests for further evidence are separate. Follow the visa actually granted; no employment or residence permission is conferred by this guide. |
| Recheck instructions for applications from 1 November 2026 | conditional | visa application | The published law contains changes commencing from 1 November 2026, as well as separately phased work-visa provisions tied to a new electronic system. This guide excludes employment/residence and uses a resident Armenian citizen or registered entity. Confirm the current consular procedure, transition instructions and invitation approval terms for a later application; no invitation-specific grandfathering is assumed and the retrieved English text is not represented as a new consolidated translation. |
| Confirm India visitor-file language, translator and certification requirements | required | visa application | No general India visitor-file accepted-language, translator-qualification, certified-translation, notarisation or apostille rule was established by the retrieved guidance. Follow actual receiving-authority requests before commissioning. Armenian-passport renewal and unrelated residence/civil-registration translation rules are not substituted, and no paid processing service is selected automatically. |
