Citizens of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan may enter Armenia visa-free and work without a separate work permit under EAEU rules. They may voluntarily obtain a certificate through workpermit.am confirming lawful residence, while the worker’s and family’s period of stay is linked to the employment contract.
For EAEU citizens, this substantially simplifies relocation for employment: a separate work permit and immediate residence-permit application are not mandatory conditions for taking a job. The key document is an employment contract with an Armenian employer, while a certificate from workpermit.am can confirm lawful residence. This is especially relevant to Russian citizens and their families, who can plan a move without the standard work-permit procedure. Anyone relocating for employment should pay attention to the contract term and the tax registration requirements described by the sources.
