Unlocking a Spectrum of Opportunities: The Advantages of Special Passport in Armenia
Introduction to Special Residency/Passport in Armenia
This article explores the benefits associated with obtaining special residency/passport status in Armenia. From access to healthcare and educational prospects to land ownership privileges, Armenia extends an array of opportunities to those who receive this residency status.
Access to Healthcare as a Special Passport Holder in Armenia
Holders of a special passport are entitled to enlist the services of a family physician upon registering as per the protocol at a primary care medical institution, which offers complimentary healthcare services.
Although neither citizens nor regular residence permit holders are legally mandated to acquire health insurance, Armenia boasts six licensed insurance companies that offer health coverage. Annual premiums typically fall within the range of $300 to $600 per individual.
Education Opportunities for Special Passport Holders in Armenia
Armenia boasts a number of esteemed universities, with one of the most renowned institutions extending benefits specifically to international students holding special passports.
The American University of Armenia, recognized for its academic excellence, welcomes many international students annually. Special residence permit holders in Armenia receive an automatic subsidy of approximately 50% off the published international tuition rates.
Relocation to Armenia: Personal belongings
Special passport holders are eligible to obtain a certificate of permanent residence in Armenia, entitling them to import personal belongings without incurring customs fees. The Migration and Citizenship Service typically issues the certificate within a brief period of 5 business days. Remote application submission through a designated representative is also possible for those with prior visits to Armenia.
Family members
Special passport holders enjoy the legal provision granting extended family members (comprising parents, siblings, spouses, children, grandparents, and grandchildren) eligibility for a 1-year temporary residence permit. Furthermore, after sustaining uninterrupted residence as dependents for a continuous period of 3 years, family members can qualify for a 5-year permanent residence permit, contingent upon demonstrating adequate housing and financial means.
Rights to Own Land
While Armenia permits all foreign nationals to hold full ownership of real estate within the country, it imposes restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land. Special residency holders stand as the sole exception, endowed with the privilege of owning agricultural land in their name under the law.
