Immigration Services in Armenia

We assist entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals in obtaining entry and multi-entry business visas for short-term or long-term stays in Armenia.

Armenia offers e-visas and visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to citizens of many countries, depending on nationality. However, business-related activities - especially longer stays, recurring visits, or work-related engagement - may require the appropriate visa category to ensure full compliance with Armenian immigration rules.

We advise on the correct visa type, prepare supporting documentation such as invitation letters and company registration evidence, and ensure your application reflects the actual purpose of your visit.

We support companies in hiring foreign workers by handling work permit applications and compliance requirements.

Foreign nationals working for Armenian-registered entities must hold a valid work permit. This is a two-part process: the employer must receive authorization to hire a foreign worker, and the employee must then obtain their individual work permit. Both steps involve separate applications to the State Employment Agency. We handle both sides - employer authorization and employee permit - as a single coordinated process, and advise on employment contract compliance requirements.

We help clients obtain temporary and permanent residency in Armenia, including options for investors, digital nomads, and long-term residents.

Armenian residency permits allow foreign nationals to live in Armenia legally for extended periods. Temporary residency is granted for 1 year and is renewable; permanent residency can be applied for after 3 consecutive years of temporary residency. To qualify for a permanent resident card in Armenia, a foreign national must meet one or more of the following grounds: family-based eligibility, business and economic residency, Armenian national origin, or other compelling personal circumstances.

We advise on Armenian citizenship through naturalization or descent, and assist with full application preparation.

Armenia offers two main pathways to citizenship. Naturalization requires 3 years of continuous legal residence, basic Armenian language proficiency, knowledge of the Constitution, and renunciation of prior citizenship. Citizenship by descent applies to individuals who can prove Armenian ancestry - this route does not require prior residency and often involves tracing records through Armenian church registers, civil archives, or diaspora community records. Armenia also recognizes dual citizenship, meaning individuals may hold an Armenian passport alongside another nationality.

We support families in joining relatives in Armenia through dependent visas and reunification procedures.

If you hold a valid Armenian residency or work permit, you can apply to bring immediate family members - spouses, minor children, and in some cases dependent parents - under family reunification provisions. Each family member requires their own dependent visa or residency permit application linked to the principal permit holder, supported by proof of family relationship, valid permit, and sufficient accommodation and means of support.

Fast-track residency pathways tied to qualifying real estate or business investment in Armenia.

Investors who make a qualifying investment in Armenia can apply for residency on investment grounds, which typically offers a more streamlined pathway than standard residency. Qualifying investments include purchasing real estate above a certain value threshold or registering and capitalizing a business in Armenia. Thresholds and qualifying criteria are assessed case by case - the structuring of the investment matters as much as the amount.
