Armenia has become one of the most stable and open destinations for relocation, business registration, and tax residency in recent years. Against the backdrop of growing uncertainty in Europe and bureaucratic barriers in many CIS countries, Yerevan offers what many foreigners are looking for: transparent procedures, digital public services, and straightforward rules for doing business.

ResidentArmenia.com is a platform that helps foreigners obtain all the necessary documents — from company registration to obtaining a residence permit in Armenia and tax residency — through a full “turnkey” support format.

Who We Are and What We Do

The ResidentArmenia team consists of lawyers, tax consultants, and accountants who solve practical issues for clients from dozens of countries every day — from China and Belarus to Germany and Canada.
We operate at the intersection of law, accounting, and migration, providing a single point of contact for all processes related to adapting to life and business in Armenia.

Main Areas of Service

1. Business Registration and Company Formation

Foreign entrepreneurs can register a sole proprietorship or LLC remotely without personal presence.
ResidentArmenia supports every step — from preparing founding documents to opening a corporate bank account.

Services include:

• Registration of a sole proprietorship;
• Creation of a limited liability company (LLC);
• Registration of a branch or representative office;
• Obtaining a tax number and registration with the State Revenue Committee.

According to the official Armenian company registry, most company registrations can be completed within a few business days.

2. Immigration and Migration Services

Another major area is full support for residence permits, visas, and citizenship procedures.
The team helps choose the legal basis, prepare documents, translate and legalize certificates, and submit applications at the passport offices in Yerevan.

Key services include:

• applying for a residence permit;
• renewal and status consultations;
• preparation of documents for Armenian citizenship;
• obtaining certificates, registering an address, and issuing a social card in Armenia.

Additional resources: residence permit guides, citizenship procedures, and application instructions.

3. Tax Residency and Tax Optimization

Armenia remains one of the few jurisdictions where taxation is relatively simple and transparent.
ResidentArmenia advises clients on selecting the appropriate tax regime, obtaining tax residency, and applying double taxation treaties.

Services include:

• obtaining a tax residency certificate;
• consulting on taxation for freelancers, IT companies, and startups;
• calculating cross-border tax risks;
• analyzing available regimes such as microbusiness, simplified taxation, and the general system.

According to the OECD Corporate Tax Statistics database, Armenia maintains one of the lowest effective tax burdens in the region. The effective tax rate for small businesses is about 18%, while microbusinesses may qualify for a 0% rate.

4. Accounting and Legal Outsourcing

ResidentArmenia provides full accounting outsourcing for companies that prefer not to maintain an internal accounting department.
This includes bookkeeping, tax declarations, payroll calculations, and reporting.

Services include:

• preparation and submission of quarterly declarations;
• accounting under the VAT system in Armenia;
• preparation of financial reports for foreign founders;
• bookkeeping in English for international clients.

All accounting processes follow the regulations of the Armenian State Revenue Committee.

5. Banking Support

Opening corporate and personal bank accounts is a key step for relocation and business operations.
We work with the largest banks in Armenia, including Ardshinbank, Ameriabank, ACBA, and Evocabank.

Services include:

• preparation of documentation for banks;
• support during bank interviews;
• consultations on currency control and compliance.

Detailed banking comparisons are available in our guide to the best banks in Armenia.

According to the PwC Armenia Tax Guide, the country’s banking system is fully integrated with international payment networks and serves non-residents in multiple currencies.

6. Business Suspension or Liquidation

If a company temporarily stops operating, it is possible to freeze activity or proceed with full company liquidation.
ResidentArmenia assists with both procedures: reconciliation with tax authorities, preparation of documentation, closing bank accounts, and filing final reports.

7. Consulting for IT Sector and Digital Nomads

Since 2023, Armenia has actively developed its IT ecosystem and startup support programs.
ResidentArmenia advises digital nomads and IT companies on business registration, taxation, and legal status.

Services include:

• registering a sole proprietorship with an IT activity code;
• tax benefits for export-oriented IT projects;
• employee registration and residency options for founders.

According to the KPMG Armenia tax summary, certain IT companies may benefit from significant tax incentives.

How Turnkey Support Works

Our support process follows several clear steps:

1. Client situation analysis — review of citizenship, goals, and tax status.
2. Choosing the optimal strategy — business registration, residence permit, investment, or family-based relocation.
3. Document preparation and legalization — translations, notarization, and apostille.
4. Submission and registration — filing applications with government authorities.
5. Results and ongoing support — residence permits, bank accounts, accounting, and renewals.

Each project is handled by a dedicated consultant.
All services are delivered online with transparent timelines and reporting.
