According to the rules of the visa-free regime between Russia and Armenia, citizens of the Russian Federation can stay in Armenia without a visa for 180 days during the year. If you plan to stay in the country longer, you can register with the migration police department at your place of residence. To do this, you will need a passport and a rental agreement. It is best to ask the property owner to be present during registration to confirm that you actually live at the address you provided. The registration process may take several days. If your landlord does not agree to come with you to the passport office, this may extend the process by a couple of weeks (or even 3-4 weeks). You also need to be prepared for the fact that the local police officer can check whether you really live at the specified address. The registration mark is placed in the foreign passport or on a separate sheet if you arrived using an internal passport. It is important not to put any extraneous marks on the internal Russian passport, as this may make it invalid. Many foreigners living in Armenia practice this method of extending the legal period of stay in the country as a visa run. To do this, it is enough to cross the border of another country —, for example, go to Georgia for the weekend. Upon returning to Armenia, the period of stay begins anew. We talked about visaran in detail in another article.
