Verified employer matching does not have one fixed price we publish, because what a fair fee looks like depends on your background and how much verification work a match actually needs — what we can tell you upfront is that our fee is entirely separate from any government fees you may pay later if a match leads to an employer-sponsored work permit.
Start your application and tell us about your background, and we will follow up with a written fee explanation before you owe us anything. If you want the fuller picture of how the two kinds of cost relate first, the sections below walk through it.
Our Matching Fee
Matching connects you to openings and does verification legwork that is hard to do accurately from abroad — checking what can reasonably be confirmed about an employer before passing a listing on to you. Our fee for that work is quoted per case rather than published as a flat number, and covers exactly what we explain to you in writing before you commit to anything. Be cautious of anyone who asks for payment specifically to guarantee a match or a hire — that pattern is worth treating as a warning sign, not a normal fee structure.
Government Fees Come Later, and Separately
If a match leads to a genuine offer, the employer-led work permit and residence process that follows involves its own government fees, set by Armenian authorities and entirely separate from anything we charge for matching. Our current sanctioned figures for that later stage — indicative and unverified, pending lawyer review — are an employment-based residence card at approximately 105,000 AMD, a work-entry visa fee of 15,000 AMD once that system is operational, and an indicative all-in total of roughly 155,950–170,950 AMD, with processing of up to about two months. These belong to the work permit stage, not to matching itself, and can change — confirm current figures with official Armenian sources or a licensed immigration lawyer.
What Affects What We Charge
Generally, how much work matching takes depends on how clear your background and target industry already are, and how many rounds of checking a specific employer or listing requires. Being open to more than one type of role from the outset also tends to make matching more straightforward, simply because there is more to work with. None of this changes any government fee down the line — it only affects what we quote for our own part of the process.
Warning Signs Around Fees
A fee request is worth extra scrutiny if it comes wrapped in pressure: being asked to pay before you have anything in writing, being told a payment guarantees a specific hiring outcome, or being pushed to decide quickly with no room to ask questions. We would never ask any of that of you, and treating those patterns as warning signs protects you regardless of which provider you are actually dealing with.

We cannot quote a service fee that fits everyone, and we would rather explain your specific number clearly than publish one that does not reflect your situation. Share your background and we will follow up with a written fee explanation and next steps.
