Armenia

Armenia, positioned between Europe and Asia, is renowned for its rich history, welcoming culture, and dynamic growth. The economy continues to expand, supported by a competitive tax system, pro-business reforms, and modernising infrastructure. For investors seeking access to both European and Eurasian markets, Armenia presents an attractive and accessible opportunity.

Overview of the Armenia Permanent Residency Program

This program gives investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners a direct route to permanent residency without the hurdles found in many other jurisdictions. There is no physical presence requirement and no specified minimum investment, making it one of the most flexible options available.

Applications can be completed entirely from abroad, with approvals typically granted in around three months. Residence permits are valid for five years and can be renewed indefinitely. The program extends to immediate and extended family members, offering a secure and long-term base in a strategically important location.
