Armenia Digital Nomad Visa for Haitian Passport Holders (2026)

Haitian passport holders can enter Armenia via eVisa, which makes the process relatively straightforward. You can obtain your eVisa online before departure, enter Armenia on that basis, and then convert to the digital nomad visa if the program permits in-country applications. The eVisa is typically faster and cheaper than a full consulate appointment.

The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Haitian citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:

• Income: Not specified — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
• Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Armenia entities
• Health insurance: medical check certificate required
• Clean background: Police clearance from Haiti (apostilled if required by Armenia)
• Valid passport: Haiti passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
• Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Armenia

Important: Documents not in Armenia's official language or English must be certified translated. Haitian applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Haiti.

1. Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Haiti passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
2. Authenticate documents. Check whether Armenia requires apostille stamps on Haiti-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
3. Check entry requirements. Verify whether Haitian citizens can enter Armenia visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Armenia embassy website for current entry requirements for Haiti passport holders.
4. Submit your application. Apply through the official Armenia government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
5. Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Armenia.

Tax obligations for Haitian citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Armenia if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.

Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Haiti citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Haiti and Armenia.

Always consult a tax professional who understands both Haiti and Armenia tax law before committing to an extended stay.

Weak or inconsistent income documentation

Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Armenia immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.

Missing apostille or translation requirements

Haitian applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Haiti-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.

Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel

Haitian passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Armenia before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Armenia embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
