Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Armenije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbenici) sta se
v skupni želji olajšati potovanje državljanov svojih držav, imetnikov diplomatskih potnih listov,
s ciljem okrepiti sodelovanje med državama
dogovorili:

1. Državljani pogodbenice, ki so imetniki veljavnega diplomatskega potnega lista in so člani diplomatskega predstavništva ali konzulata svoje države ali njeni predstavniki pri mednarodni organizaciji ali predstavništvu mednarodne organizacije na ozemlju druge države, lahko brez vizuma vstopijo na ozemlje druge pogodbenice in tam bivajo med opravljanjem nalog. Pogodbenica pošiljateljica pogodbenico sprejemnico po diplomatski poti vnaprej uradno obvesti o napotitvi in funkciji navedenih oseb.
2. Osebam iz prvega odstavka tega člena pogodbenica sprejemnica izda ustrezen bivalni naslov.
3. Ugodnosti iz drugega odstavka tega člena veljajo tudi za družinske člane oseb iz prvega odstavka tega člena, če z njimi živijo v istem gospodinjstvu, jih pogodbenica sprejemnica priznava kot družinske člane, ki upravičeno živijo z osebami iz prvega odstavka tega člena, in so imetniki veljavnega potnega lista.

1. Državljani pogodbenice, ki so imetniki veljavnega diplomatskega potnega lista in niso člani osebja diplomatskega predstavništva ali konzulata svoje države ali njeni predstavniki pri mednarodni organizaciji ali predstavništvu mednarodne organizacije, za vstop na ozemlje druge pogodbenice, bivanje na njem do devetdeset (90) dni v obdobju sto osemdesetih (180) dni in izstop z njega ne potrebujejo vizuma, če se ne ukvarjajo z dejavnostjo, za katero je v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenic potrebno dovoljenje za prebivanje ali ustrezen nacionalni vizum.
2. Osebe iz prvega odstavka tega člena, ki nameravajo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice ostati več kot devetdeset (90) dni, morajo v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenic vnaprej pridobiti dovoljenje za prebivanje ali ustrezen nacionalni vizum. Vizum diplomatsko predstavništvo ali konzulat pogodbenice izda brezplačno.
3. Pri vstopu na ozemlje Republike Slovenije po tranzitu čez ozemlje ene ali več držav, za katere po odpravi notranjih mejnih kontrol in omejitev gibanja oseb v celoti veljajo določbe schengenskega pravnega reda, teh devetdeset (90) dni začne teči z dnem prehoda zunanje meje območja prostega gibanja, ki ga sestavljajo navedene države.

Državljani pogodbenic med svojim bivanjem na ozemlju države druge pogodbenice spoštujejo njene predpise za vstop na njeno ozemlje in njeno notranjo zakonodajo.

Pristojni organi pogodbenic si pridržujejo pravico, da zavrnejo vstop na ozemlje svoje države ali bivanje na njem državljanom druge pogodbenice iz 1. in 2. člena tega sporazuma zaradi zaščite državne varnosti, javnega reda, javnega zdravja ali drugih tehtnih razlogov.

1. Pogodbenici si v tridesetih (30) dneh po podpisu tega sporazuma po diplomatski poti izmenjata vzorce diplomatskih potnih listov.
2. Pogodbenica ob spremembi diplomatskih potnih listov drugi pogodbenici pošlje nove vzorce skupaj z informacijami o njihovi veljavnosti najmanj trideset (30) dni pred uvedbo.

Vsi spori, povezani z razlago ali izvajanjem določb sporazuma, se rešujejo s posvetovanji ali pogajanji med pristojnimi organi pogodbenic.

Spremembe tega sporazuma so mogoče na pobudo ene od pogodbenic. Spremembe, o katerih se pogodbenici dogovorita, začnejo veljati v skladu s prvim odstavkom 9. člena.

Ta sporazum ne vpliva na druge obveznosti pogodbenic po mednarodnih pogodbah, zlasti obveznosti po Dunajski konvenciji o diplomatskih odnosih iz leta 1961 in Dunajski konvenciji o konzularnih odnosih iz leta 1963.

1. Sporazum se sklene za nedoločen čas. Veljati začne trideseti (30.) dan po prejetju zadnjega od pisnih uradnih obvestil, s katerima se pogodbenici obvestita o dokončanju ustreznih notranjepravnih postopkov.
2. Pogodbenici si pridržujeta pravico, da zaradi zaščite državne varnosti, javnega reda, javnega zdravja ali drugih utemeljenih razlogov začasno ustavita izvajanje določb tega sporazuma. Vsaka pogodbenica o tem po diplomatski poti takoj obvesti drugo pogodbenico. Začasna ustavitev izvajanja sporazuma ali prenehanje tega ukrepa začne veljati na dan, ko druga pogodbenica prejme uradno obvestilo.
3. Pogodbenica lahko sporazum kadar koli odpove tako, da o tem po diplomatski poti uradno obvesti drugo pogodbenico. Sporazum velja še trideset (30) dni po tem, ko druga pogodbenica prejme uradno obvestilo o odpovedi.
