News
10.02.2026
This guide and its series of articles are based on the Employment Bootcamp held at Repat Armenia on December 2025, as well as materials prepared by Mary Grigoryan, Partner at MB Legal (labor, migration, corporate, and business law), and Alina Danielyan, Junior Lawyer at MB Legal (labor, migration, and corporate law). It is intended for repats and foreign professionals in Armenia who need clarity instead of complicated legal jargon.

Repat Story
09.02.2026
As mentioned in the first part of this in-depth interview, Ara delved into a lot of nuances when answering the questions. But then again, that’s what made things interesting. I just couldn’t bear leaving anything out and I suggested that we split the entire thing into two parts. Luckily for me, Ara agreed. And without further adieu, here’s part 2 of getting candid with Ara Yeramian!
Repat Story

To me, Ara is one of those “Yes! I totally agree with you!” repats. We meet in person once in a blue moon, usually over burgers and beer, and end up talking about all things Armenia-related. And for the most part, we’re on the same page.
Ara already sat down with Repat Armenia for another article, but I decided to take a different approach this time around. I wanted this interview to be more candid, really bringing out Ara’s wit and wisdom that, if given the right platform, can amount to big changes. We ended up chatting over 14 questions, and Ara went into the smallest details. To make the whole interview easier to process, we’ve split it into two parts. Here’s the first part of getting candid with Ara Yeramian.

Can a bank card be issued remotely?
Armenia remains one of the most convenient countries for non-residents who want to open a bank account and use international payment systems. The local banking system is considered stable: fees are moderate, online services are developing rapidly, and mobile banking is available 24/7.
At the same time, there is an important requirement that non-residents should be aware of in advance: the first visit to a bank must be in person. Even if a bank’s website includes sections such as “For Non-Residents” or buttons like “Open Account Online”, these do not replace mandatory in-person identification. This is a legal requirement, and banks cannot bypass it.

News
09.01.2026
Perhaps, as a diasporan, you’ve put off repatriation due to careers, family matters, financial obligations, or legal realities. After all, uprooting your entire life isn’t an easy decision and isn’t always realistic. At the same, you still want to contribute to Armenia, you still want to make a positive impact on the country that shapes a big part of your identity.
Well, here’s the good news: meaningful Armenian diaspora engagement no longer requires a permanent move! Pathways now exist for Armenians who want to stay connected without fully repatriating. The options are endless: short-term return to Armenia, project-based work, targeted investments, youth exchange programs…you name it!

News
23.12.2025
We hear a lot of blanket statements about the diaspora and its role in shaping Armenia. Still, few people take the time to truly understand what the diaspora actually is. With debates around repatriation growing stronger, it is important for anyone considering a return to understand who Armenians abroad are, where they live, and what drives their decision to come home (or stay abroad). This article maps the Diaspora with an analytical lens, and explores what, in 2025, the Diaspora might want and expect if they consider repatriation.
