At this border checkpoint passenger have to go separately across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Duygu went inside and I\ncrossed alone with the car. It was all pretty smooth, just a few\nquestion about where I go, if I have a address in Armenia, where to\nafter and so on. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two times costumes opened\nthe door and ordered me to open here and there&#8230;all in all this took\n5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a EU Passport you can stay in Armenia <strong>120 Days without a Visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duygu needed to buy a Visa with a Turkish Passport. She could buy a <strong>21 days visa at the border<\/strong> for 3000 AMD (~ 6 Euro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They questioned her a\nlittle bit more. Turkey and Armenia haven\u00b4t got the best past and\nArmenia and Azerbaijan haven\u00b4t the best relationship either. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azeris are also Turkmen and share a lot with Turkish people, that\u00b4s why political they are close as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no open border\ncrossing between Turkey and Armenia and also no border crossing\nbetween Azerbaijan and Armenia. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of it, there is one area in Azerbaijan which is under the control of Armenia(Republic of Artsakh) and one area of Azerbaijan is cut of the rest of the country by Armenia (Nakhchivan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess that\u00b4s why they\nasked Duygu more questions about friends in Armenia, if she had been\nin Azerbaijan before and so on. But also here no big problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We thought we were\nfinished and wanted to leave, when they ask us for the custom papers.\nOne thing I didn\u00b4t know. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I went back to the\nbuilding and declared our car for temporary import. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First you need to pay <strong>10 000 AMD<\/strong> (~20 \u20ac), you will get a document which you will show at the costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They asked me how long I\nwant to keep the car inside of Armenia. I only declared it for one\nmonth, the officer explained me that it would be possible up 180 days\nwithout extra payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you exit the border\narea there are already some guys trying to catch you for a Insurance.\nWe didn\u00b4t check with other companies, maybe it is worth to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We paid for 31 days <strong>15 000 AMD<\/strong> (~30\u20ac).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we are done! Very easy going border crossing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/index.php\/2019\/04\/08\/border-crossing-armenia-georgia\/\">How we got back.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190318_121147-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-343\" width=\"528\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190318_121147-1024x644.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190318_121147-300x189.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190318_121147-768x483.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.rockandrollcaravancafe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190318_121147-1200x755.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 85vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption>Driving to the border.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We used the border crossing between Sadakhlo and Haghtanak.
