Business visits to Armenia

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Macanese passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see mfa.am.

Common tourist traps

  1. Street taxis overcharging

    How it works: Taxis hailed on the street may scam you with high fares; single women have occasionally been harassed.

    How to avoid it: Use a reputable taxi app (FCDO names GG) instead of hailing a cab.

  2. Pickpockets and bag-snatching

    How it works: Occasional pickpocketing, bag-snatching and theft from cars target foreign visitors.

    How to avoid it: Leave spare cash, passports and valuables in a safe place.
