The government has proposed amendments for the creation of a unified electronic platform for hiring foreigners in Armenia. This is what Head of the State Migration Service of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia Armen Ghazaryan said during today’s discussion on the package of bills on making amendments and supplements to the Law on Foreigners and related laws held in parliament.

According to him, the platform will allow the government to have specific statistics on foreigners working in Armenia and oversee the process of hiring foreigners more effectively. “The government has also amended the concept of ‘work permit’, which is an electronic permit issued by the authorized state body, based on which a foreigner obtains the status of temporary residency in the territory of Armenia,” Ghazaryan clarified.
