How can I chroot into a filesystem with a different architechture?

I'm trying to chroot into a Arch Linux ARM filesystem from x86_64. I've seen that it's possible to do using static qemu by copying the binary into the chroot system: $ cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm archarm-chroot/usr/bin But despite this I always get the following error: chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error I know this means that the architectures differ. Am I doing something wrong?
