The Consular Section of the U. S. Embassy in Yerevan provides a variety of services for U.S. citizens. There are two units in the Consular Section: the U.S. Citizen Services Section and the Visa Section. Please note that American Citizen Services appointments are NOT for visa-related questions or issues. Additionally, do not make an appointment at the Embassy for Social Security issues. All Social Security issues must now go directly though the Federal Benefit Unit in Athens.
All American Citizen Services visitors should schedule your appointment on-line.

Please leave a voicemail and we will return your call within one business day. We cannot answer questions regarding visas. If you have any questions about visas, please contact us here. Calls regarding visas will not be returned. If you are an American Citizen requiring immediate emergency assistance after hours or on a weekend, please dial +10 49 44 44.
