According to the source, Armenia plans to introduce from August 1, 2026, an investment route to a five-year permanent residence card, with renewal options and no physical-presence requirement to maintain the status. The minimum investment, eligible asset classes and maintenance conditions had not yet been determined at the time of publication.
For investors, this could become a more flexible residence route because the source describes a five-year card and no continuous physical-presence requirement for maintaining it. Its practical availability remains uncertain, however, because the investment threshold, eligible assets and maintenance rules had not yet been announced. Investors considering relocation after August 2026 should monitor the program, but it would be premature to treat it as a ready-made route. The source also says it remains unclear how the fast-track status would interact with the general path to citizenship.
