Armenia remote citizenship in 3 years?

[cer955]

Hello,
I came across this post: https://www.imidaily.com/analysis/t...y-remote-3-year-path-to-armenian-citizenship/

It seems interesting, but there's not much info I can find online and the citizenship promises are always fuzzy.
Does anyone have any experience or more information about this residency program and, more importantly, if it can really lead to citizenship with minimal presence in the country?

Seems unlikely, but not impossible 😉

It is pretty much the same rule as in any EU country. None of them‌ have any days requirements. But they will check and see whether you even know anything‍ about the country. If you do not know the local language, it will be difficult.⁠

Unless you have some personal ties or interst in the country, it is a waste⁤ of time. Better do the same show in Italy or Belgium, Malta, etc. where you⁣ know the language at least, it will be faster and easier for you.

Just read the full article, it's well written and contains factually correct information.

@JohnnyDoe have you acquired Armenian citizenship?

@cer955 if you are from EU and broke (or‌ very rich), you can do the same in Italy and get the passport in 4‍ years.

Damn, one has to be‍ committed to go down this route then.

just curious.... what makes the key‌ difference for you when it comes to Armenia vs. Russia?

 

[cer955]

I'm exactly looking for a non-EU passport 😀

Sure, I'm not saying it's⁤ easy, but for the purpose of getting a new, free passport it would be worthy⁣ to learn. I'm more concerned about the "minimum stay" in the country - in this⁢ article says there's technically no minimum stay, but it doesn't mean they don't actually check.︀ A lot of countries don't have a fixed minimum stay but you won't get citizenship︁ without living there (ex. Panama, afaik)

I guess, Russian︃ is not useless in the world 🙂

 

[cer955]

They don't officially check minimum stay, but I guess you need to︀ be tax resident there, pay taxes, etc, to create ties with the country?

 

[daniels27]

Yes, they will check you.

Anyone remember the Armenia - Azerbaijan conflict in 2020? And the history of border skirmishes‌ that continue. If your under 27 think wisely about whether you want to end up‍ doing military service over there just for a passport. If your neighboring Iranian looking for⁠ another passport then it may make sense.

Armenia does not check a physical presence. They check a residence permit time of existence.‌
Armenia want ti see that you have a reasonable economic activity. Yo have to pay‍ taxes in Armenia for at least 3 years.
Person who apply for armenian citizenship based⁠ on residency has to pass exam from the armenian constitutional system. Exam is in armenian⁤ language. Person has also pass a test of writing skills in armenian language by filling⁣ a biographic form and CV.
Armenia has obligatory conscription.
Are you willing to serve in⁢ the army in a country which is too offen in a war or in a︀ risk of war?

 

[daniels27]

They lost⁤ on all grounds.

Guys grow up! Please 😉

I mean just wait until you are old enough⁢ not having to worry anymore.

Thats not how wars work.

In case of an all out‍ war they close borders and draft wave by wave. When they run out of young⁠ ones, they'll increase draft age until nobody left or the war ends

 

[daniels27]

I think OP is not interested in⁠ spending time there.

 

[pioasoidpioasd]

nope. They have another piece‌ of territory of Azerbaijani and a corridor to it on Armenial land.

 

[daniels27]

Yes, but you expect any war over that one?

If you can’t understand and write Armenian, you can forget about getting a passport after‌ four years. On the other hand, I would assume that Armenia, like most countries of‍ that type, has a high level of corruption, so chances are, you could simply pay⁠ to receive a passing test result without knowing a single word of Armenian.

If one is committed (but I don't see any reason in the world for that) it's possible to learn a new language in a few months. 4 years is plenty of time to achieve good conversational level if your iq is higher than a monkey's.

Impossible. This is the usual lie told by scammers who sell residence permits or fake passports.
