元旦，即公历的1月1日，是世界多数国家通称的“新年”。元，谓“始”，凡数之始称为“元”；旦，谓“日”；“元旦”意即“初始之日”。

YEREVAN - An agreement on mutually lifting visas between China and Armenia will take effect on Jan 19, 2020, according to a statement released Monday by the Armenian Foreign Ministry.

The statement said that starting Jan 19, Armenian and Chinese citizens will be able to travel or transit in the host country's territory for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days without a visa.

Any stay over 90 days, and stay for the purposes of work and study will require application for a visa in advance.

In May this year, China and Armenia signed an agreement to lift visa requirements for the citizens of the two countries.

Some 8,500 Chinese citizens visited Armenia in 2018, according to Armenia's national statistical committee.

Citizens of China and Armenia can enjoy 90-day visa-free arrival in the other country starting from Jan 19 next year, according to the Chinese embassy in Armenia on Monday, Xinhua reported.

China and Armenia signed an agreement in May to exempt visas for ordinary passport holders, which will take effect on Jan 19, 2020, when legal procedures have been completed in both countries.

According to the agreement, Chinese and Armenian citizens holding ordinary passports of their own country can enter, exit or transit through the other country visa-free if the accumulative stay in that country is no more than 90 per 180 days since their date of arrival. 

根据该协定，持中国普通护照的中国公民以及持亚美尼亚普通护照的亚美尼亚公民，在缔约另一方入境、出境或过境，自入境之日起每180日内累计停留不超过90日，免办签证。

Citizens who plan to stay in the other country for over 90 per 180 days accumulatively, or plan to work, study, live or provide news coverage should apply for a visa in advance.

协定同时规定，中亚一方公民，如欲在另一方境内每180日内累计停留逾90日或在另一方境内从事工作、学习、定居、新闻报道等活动，则应提前申请签证。
