Starting on June 19, 2026, TLScontact is introducing a new appointment allocation system for tourist visas to Italy at its centre in Yerevan. Instead of selecting and booking an appointment online, applicants will be automatically allocated an appointment, based on availability.

Which visa types are affected?

This new system will be put in place for tourist visas only. For all other visa types, the appointment booking system remains unchanged.

How to get an appointment

For tourist visa applicants, the new process will be as follows:

1. Register on the TLScontact website and provide the required information about your application.
2. Once your application is validated, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that it has been received and placed in a queue.
3. You will receive an email notification when an appointment is allocated to you.
4. Pay the service fee within the deadline indicated in the email to confirm your appointment.

Why this change?

This new process has been implemented to protect visa applicants from fraudulent and costly third-party agencies, and ensure fair and equitable access to appointments for all legitimate applicants.
