The differences between residence permits and registration in Armenia

Russian citizens have the opportunity to live in Armenia for up to 180 days without any problems. It is enough to cross the Armenian border, and after that, the period of stay will again begin to count from zero. However, in order to have an official basis for living and working in Armenia, many Russian citizens decide to obtain a residence permit (RP) in this country.

Owning a residence permit provides a number of significant advantages and opportunities:

1. Unlimited period of stay in Armenia.

2. Possibility of applying for Armenian citizenship after 3 years.

3. Access to the services of Armenian banks.

4. Possibility of applying for visas of other countries at consulates and visa centers in Armenia.

When planning to submit documents for obtaining a residence permit in Armenia, you should remember that after approval and successful receipt of a residence permit, you will also need to register a registration address in Armenia, that is, register. A stamp with the registration address is placed on the back of the residence permit card. This will require the availability of living space and a willing owner who is ready to provide it for registration.

However, many citizens of the Russian Federation are not aware that they have a huge advantage over citizens of other countries while in Armenia. They establish individual businesses or organizations, obtain medical certificates, pay significant government fees to obtain a residence permit, then register a registration address in Armenia, not knowing that they can receive a stamp with the address directly in their foreign passport. After receiving a registration address, the same opportunities and benefits open up as with a residence permit, but with savings in time and resources spent on obtaining a residence permit.
