Relocation plan

Key Milestones
  1. 1 Documents and legal pathway prepared

    The procedure for a Russian citizen to enter Armenia has been confirmed, and the optimal legalization option for residing without employment income has been selected.

  2. 2 Financial and housing foundation for the move ready

    The available budget, financial reserve, housing format, banking strategy, and tax actions before the move have been determined.

  3. 3 Entry and transportation organized

    The route to Armenia, travel dates, initial accommodation, and transportation of personal belongings have been agreed upon.

  4. 4 Post-entry formalities completed

    After entry, the necessary local registrations, communications, banking and healthcare arrangements, as well as the basic day-to-day setup, have been taken care of.

Visa and Residence Permit
  1. 7 Determine the legal regime of stay and the need for a residence permit

    The current entry rules and the permitted length of stay for a Russian citizen have been checked, as well as the grounds for obtaining temporary or another type of residence status when staying in the country for an extended period.

  2. 10 Submit an application for a residence permit if it is required for the chosen length of stay

    An application has been submitted on an appropriate basis, or a documented decision to rely on lawful visa-free stay has been recorded. An application number or confirmation of further actions has been obtained.

  3. 17 Complete the residence status application process and retain the confirmations

    A document or official confirmation of the lawful stay regime has been obtained. The calendar includes the expiration dates of the permitted stay and the possible deadlines for extension or the next application.

Documents, Translation, Apostille
  1. 6 Audit Russian documents for relocation

    A list has been compiled of valid documents that will be required for renting accommodation, banking, medical services, and potentially obtaining residence status in Armenia. Documents requiring renewal or certification are noted separately.

  2. 8 Prepare document translations and certifications according to the chosen route

    A set of documents has been prepared specifically for the selected procedure: originals, copies, translations, and the required forms of certification. Unnecessary documents are not included in the set without need.

Budget and Cost of Living
  1. 5 Create a relocation budget and a 3–6-month reserve

    A spending plan has been documented, taking into account rent, the deposit, travel, bank fees, insurance, and unforeseen expenses. The minimum amount that must not be spent until daily life is stabilized has been determined.

Healthcare and Insurance
  1. 9 Choose medical insurance for the relocation and residence period

    Coverage for the trip, outpatient care, and emergencies in Armenia has been determined. The policy and insurer’s contact details are available before departure and after arrival.

  2. 19 Activate medical coverage and choose a clinic

    The policy’s validity in Armenia has been verified, the assistance service’s contact details have been saved, and a clinic for planned care has been selected. If necessary, the transfer of medical records has been arranged.

Housing
  1. 12 Find housing in Armenia for the initial period of residence

    A shortlist of options has been compiled with verified rental terms, address registration availability, transportation access, and compliance with the budget. A safe option for moving in after arrival has been selected.

  2. 18 Move in and formalize the rental agreement

    The housing has been inspected, the terms and payment arrangements have been documented in writing, and the keys and proof of address have been received. The agreement, payment documents, and landlord’s contact details have been saved.

Banks and Accounts
  1. 13 Prepare a strategy for accessing funds and opening an account in Armenia

    A backup payment method, Russian cards and accounts, documents for contacting an Armenian bank, and the procedure for confirming the source of savings have been identified. Access to several payment channels has been secured for the relocation period.

  2. 20 Open and set up an Armenian bank account

    After an in-person visit, a bank has been selected and an account opened, if the application is approved. Top-ups, transfers, notifications, and a backup method of accessing savings have been set up.

Taxes and Tax Residency
  1. 11 Develop a tax plan for living off savings

    Tax residency, the origin of savings, transfers of own funds, and potential obligations in Russia and Armenia have been addressed separately. The dates after which the status needs to be rechecked have been determined.

  2. 21 Organize records of days spent in the country and money transfers

    A log of entries, exits, transfers of own funds, and bank confirmations has been created. It has been determined when consultation with a local tax specialist or the submission of a notification will be required.

Moving logistics
  1. 14 Plan the route and transportation of personal belongings

    The travel dates, method of transporting luggage, and list of items for the first trip have been selected. Tickets, documents for crossing the border, and a backup route option have been prepared.

  2. 15 Resolve Russian administrative matters before departure

    Obligations related to housing, subscriptions, documents, banking limits, and access to Russian services have been reviewed. The necessary powers of attorney, copies, and electronic archives have been saved.

  3. 16 Complete the move and enter Armenia

    The move has been completed, accommodation for the initial period has been confirmed, and the documents and financial reserve are under control. The entry date has been recorded for the subsequent calculation of the length of stay and tax implications.

Integration and Everyday Life
  1. 22 Set up local connectivity and essential digital services

    Mobile connectivity and internet are set up, maps, transport apps, and navigation are configured, and secure access to banking and government services is established.

  2. 23 Complete the basic everyday tasks for the first month

    Recurring payments, shopping, transportation, delivery, household services, and emergency service contacts are set up. A map of the neighborhoods and services the person actually uses has been created.

Plan “B”
  1. 24 Prepare scenarios for extension, temporary departure, and return

    Actions have been defined in advance in case of a residence permit refusal, changes to stay regulations, rising expenses, banking problems, or the need to leave Armenia urgently. The available reserve, an alternative route, and decision-making deadlines are specified.
