A work permit in Armenia comes with two separate kinds of cost: government fees paid to Armenian authorities, and our service fee for the guidance we provide as a private company. Neither figure is fixed. Government fees are set and changed by Armenian authorities, not by us, and our service fee is quoted per case rather than published as one flat number.
If you already have an offer and want to move forward, start your application and we will quote your specific case in writing before you commit to anything. If you want to understand how the two kinds of fees fit together first, the sections below break down what we mean by government fees, how our own fee works, and what tends to move your total cost up or down.
Government Fees, Kept Separate From Anything We Charge
Government fees are paid to Armenian authorities, not to us, and we do not collect them on the government’s behalf or mark them up. The site’s current sanctioned figures — 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 newer system becomes operational, and an indicative all-in total for the broader process of roughly 155,950–170,950 AMD, with processing of up to about two months. Treat these as rough planning figures, not quotes: government fees and processing times can change without notice, and we recommend confirming current figures with official Armenian sources or a licensed immigration lawyer before you budget firmly. Our overview of how Armenia’s work permit and residence process fits together walks through the fuller breakdown.
Our Service Fee
Our service fee is separate from government fees and covers the guidance, preparation support, and coordination we provide through the work permit process. We are not going to invent a number here, because a fee that does not reflect your actual situation is not useful information — what we can commit to is explaining, in writing, exactly what a quoted fee covers before you agree to anything, so you are never guessing what you are paying for.
What Tends to Affect Your Total Cost
A few things generally influence where your total lands: whether your documents need certified translation or notarization before they can be submitted, whether family members are applying alongside you, and how straightforward your employer’s paperwork is on their end. None of these change the government fees themselves, which are fixed by Armenian authorities, but they can affect how much support your case needs and therefore what a service fee reflects.

A pricing guide can tell you what to expect and how to separate the two kinds of cost — it cannot tell you your exact total before we know your situation. Start your application and we will follow up with a written quote for your case, alongside a clear explanation of what it covers.
