Armenia's Migration Service to Launch New Residency Platform

Armenia's Migration and Citizenship Service, which operates under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, announced the launch of a new electronic platform for residency status applications, set to go live on November 1, 2026. This new system will replace the current "migration.e-gov.am" electronic platform and the "Early One" mobile application, both of which will cease operations on the same date.

The transition is part of a broader initiative to digitalize residency procedures for foreign nationals in Armenia. Foreign nationals with scheduled appointments after November 1 are advised to use the new platform to submit their applications.

The official notice did not specify the name of the new platform but confirmed that the application process will be fully online. The changes aim to modernize and streamline residency procedures, consolidating them into a single digital environment without additional fees or requirements.

Foreign nationals with pending applications or upcoming appointments are encouraged to monitor official channels for further guidance ahead of the deadline.
