Note

Armenia does not officially require veterinary documents to be in English. The primary language for document review at the border is Russian, as it is widely used in administrative practices. If your documents are only in English, they may not be accepted, or a certified translation into Russian may be requested. To avoid complications, ensure all veterinary documents are either in Russian or accompanied by a certified Russian translation.
