Before you go
None of these fit in a bag. Sort them first and the packing gets easy.
Download offline maps
Download the offline map before you lose signal.
Some cash in local currency
Cards fail more often than you'd think. Carry AMD for markets and taxis.
Passport valid past your dates
Armenia wants 6 months left on a passport past March. Check the expiry date now.
Vaccinations / travel clinic
CDC lists Hepatitis A for Armenia. Talk to a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks out.
Copies of your documents
Photograph your passport, cards, and insurance. Email them to yourself. Ten seconds now saves a very bad afternoon.
Travel insurance
Most home health plans stop at the border. A quote takes two minutes.
eSIM
An eSIM works the moment the phone is switched on in Armenia, with no SIM counter to find.
