Armenia to Italy: What You Need to Know
Apply to Italy when it is the main destination of the trip. A short-stay Schengen visa is subject to the 90-day limit within any 180-day period across Schengen and to the dates and days actually granted. The EU-Armenia agreement provides a reduced fee and specific processing rules; it is not visa-free access.
