Temporary Residence for Study (Armenia)

Overview

Temporary residence for study is granted to foreign nationals enrolled at an educational institution in Armenia, decided by the Migration and Citizenship Service. You evidence your enrolment along with the usual identity and health documents. It is tied to your course and renewable while you study. It is not a direct settlement route, but lawful time held can contribute toward permanent residence, and many students move to a work or business permit afterwards. Armenia is not in the EU.
