Armenia's Migration Service Appeals to Armenian Citizens in Russia

Armenia's Migration Service has issued a statement addressing Armenian citizens currently in the Russian Federation: “Armenian citizens who have been in the Russian Federation until December 29, 2021, and have not crossed the Russian border since, and are currently in Russia for non-working purposes exceeding 90 days or for employment regardless of the duration, must undergo fingerprint registration and photographing by January 10, 2023.

Those without temporary residence permits (РВП), residence permits (Вид на жительство), or citizenship fall under this requirement. Detailed information regarding the fingerprint registration and photographing procedures can be found here.

This requirement was established by the federal law 357-FZ dated July 14, 2022, “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation” and other relevant legislative acts of Russia.”
