Republic of Artsakh
- International Driving License has no legal status.
- In the Republic of Artsakh, traffic flows on the right side of the road.
- The only country you can arrive in the Republic of Artsakh from is Armenia.
- The border with Azerbaijan is closed while the border with Iran is not built for people's access. СIS citizens do not need a visa to visit the Republic if they have valid international passports (or substituting documents). Citizens of other countries and non-citizens need their entry visas issued by the representatives of the Republic of Artaskh in Armenia.
- All visitors who are non-Artsakh citizens must register with Artsakh consular service of Ministry of Foreign Affairs based in Stepanakert. Permitted periods of stay and travel routes are to be defined during registration. Without this registration you violate residence of foreigners in the Republic which may result in expulsion from the country as well as confiscation of photo/video data, other printed and information products.
- Stamps in the passport, registration in the Republic of Artsakh, other documents, receipts, photos or another evidence of staying in the Republic may result in sanctions (from travel ban to imprisonment) in Azerbaijan, while entry into the territory of the Republic of Artsakh by foreigners without a permission from Azerbaijani authorities is illegal.
- The minimum driving age is 18 years.
- Stay away from the landmines. Do not pull off the paved road.
- Do not visit the demarcation line of Armenian-Karabakh and Azerbaijani troops and moreover, do not try to cross over to the opposite side! That's dangerous.
- The main inner roadways Yerevan — Lachin — Stepanakert — Ağdam (mountain) and perpendicular to it Martakert — Ağdam — Martuni (flat) run almost through the whole territory of hostile Azerbaijan, though the latter starting from 1993-94 does not control these lands. You can drive on these roads safely. Buses, route taxis and other vehicles drive with no military convoy.
- It is quite easy to navigate the road, however, many road signs are in Armenian. Keep it in mind!
- Generally, roads in Nagorno-Karabakh are not that bad. However, you'd better rent an offroader to drive on rural roads.
