What It Is

Relocate Armenia is a corporate relocation and soft-landing service provider for foreign companies entering Armenia. Its offering goes beyond company registration: it brings entity formation, employee work permits and temporary residence, housing, banking, schools, healthcare, translation, office space, and registered addresses under a single point of contact. It is a good fit for companies assigning staff to Armenia or building a regional team there.

Core Services and Jurisdictions

Its services are focused on Armenia, with key landing scenarios in Yerevan and Gyumri. Company formation covers LLCs, branches, representative offices, and individual entrepreneurs. An LLC can be registered via e-register.am on the same day. The materials explicitly mention 100% foreign ownership, no minimum capital, zero government fees, and no requirement for a local director or shareholder. A branch is suitable for companies that want to retain the parent company’s identity, but it involves document certification procedures. A representative office cannot conduct direct commercial operations and is better suited to market research and relationship-building stages.

Pricing and Timeline

Pricing is disclosed in relatively good detail: entity formation costs $1,000–$3,000 one-time; immigration packages are $1,500–$3,000 per employee; standard soft-landing services are $2,000–$4,000 per employee, while premium packages are $5,000–$8,000 per employee or family; retention packages are $2,000–$5,000/month. The government registration fee for an LLC is zero, while registration as an individual entrepreneur costs AMD 3,000. In terms of timing, an LLC can be registered on the same day. Branches and representative offices take longer due to apostille/legalization requirements, but the materials do not provide a fully precise timeline. The soft-landing service aims to get employees fully settled within 90 days.

Compliance, Registered Address, and Office Setup

Its formation service includes a social number, tax number, corporate bank account, company seal, legal address, and initial regulatory registration. It also mentions ongoing compliance support and renewal tracking for work permits/residence permits 60–90 days before expiry. However, the materials do not clearly define the boundaries of day-to-day bookkeeping, monthly tax filing, audit, and other accounting services. On the office side, it provides virtual offices, registered addresses, serviced offices, coworking spaces, and full office fit-outs, which is practical for foreign companies without an existing local team.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

The main advantage is its high level of one-stop integration, especially for projects that need to handle company formation, work permits, employee family relocation, and office space at the same time. It is positioned for Chinese tech companies as well as companies from the US, Europe, Turkey, and the wider region. The drawbacks are that final pricing still requires consultation, and the captured materials do not show payment methods, refund policy, team credentials, or client case studies. Its services are also almost entirely focused on Armenia, so it is not suitable for companies needing multi-country incorporation.

Access from China and Alternatives

The materials include Chinese content and specifically mention Chinese tech companies, but they do not provide information on access stability from mainland China, payment methods, or RMB payments, so China access should be considered unknown. Alternatives include local Armenian law firms, accounting firms, corporate secretary providers, immigration consultants, or international company formation platforms. If you need employee soft landing combined with office setup on the ground, Relocate Armenia has an advantage in service integration.
