Armenia remote citizenship in 3 years?

[HardRJones]

Learning a language for a desirable residence or citizenship shouldn't be a barrier. The question is to whether an Armenian residence or citizenship is desirable. If I had to list advantages and disadvantages it might look like the following:

Advantages:
- EAEU membership.
- Central Asian pied-a-terre (Central Asia is becoming more of a geopolitical focus and area of competition).
- Armenia might become a conduit between economic blocs like Serbia.
- Passport with fair travel prospects.

Disadvantages:
- Geopolitical instability.
- Anemic and corrupt economy.
- Poorly developed financial sector.
- Military service requirement.
- Some questions about alignment between the legal framework and practical implementation of citizenship.
- Azerbaijani and Turkish issues stemming from citizenship.
- Nobody wants to actually live in Armenia.
- Remote, relatively difficult to access location.
- Potential competition from Georgia now for many of the same (or better) advantages.

I'm not sure how this all balances out.

It was never ever possible. You could have a translator in past. It is not allowed any more.

Have you done it?

I have a few contacts there even though I'm not actively pursuing anything at the moment. They indicate that the government is looking more at significant ties in citizenship applications and the rejection rate of applications has increased recently.

It's a good non-correlated passport. One of the few ones that gives you 90 days for both China and Russia.
Surely there must be someone who wrote the exam and posted the q's online somewhere.

You can't even buy a drivers license in Armenia anymore without a really good connection due to anti corruption efforts. The military service required for male citizens is a deal breaker though it is possible to legally buy an exemption but it is relatively expensive. Also unless you speak Aremenian or at least Russian, this is not a good jurisdiction. The country is landlocked with 5 land borders (3 of which are closed and 4th with Iran), it is not the gateway to anywhere except maybe the backdoor to Georgia.

This could be put into Google Translate and then studied.

Maybe so but unless someone is ethnic Armenian or married to one, citizenship there is a stretch. Non citizen residents can own property, open accounts, and get licenses, so unless someone was desperate travel to Russia, it makes little sence. Also Armenia likely may soon get the boot from the Russian Mir. The threats of earhquake and civil unrest are also very real.

Have you seen armenian alphabet? Good luck in trying to memorize answers.

Test is followed by requirement to file a biographic data and CV form which has ro be filled by applicant by the hand in armenian language. Good luck in memorizing all of this in absolutely non understandable alphabet.

You need to have 17 correct of 33. If you always choose the second one, you get 15 points. I am pretty sure, you'll manage to remember two more to pass.

And whatabout biographic data and CV form? It is 4 full pages of text that has to be written in armenian language.

You fail to understand, the exam is not the issue. You need to show a connection to Armenia, they are very nationalisitic and not a microstate. The lawyer is just trolling for suckers.
