Armenian government bonds and residence: keep the analyses separate

Purchasing a bond is a financial decision and should be evaluated separately from the legal basis for residence.

An investor may be interested in both securities and residence, but parallel interest does not create an automatic legal connection between them.

Evaluate the bond as a financial instrument

Issuer, maturity, yield, currency, early-sale options, fees and market risk are core questions.

Evaluate residence under migration rules

A residence basis must exist in the applicable rules and be supported by a separate file. Claims of “guaranteed residence” through a product require careful verification.

Include currency and liquidity risk

Nominal yield is not enough. Currency conversion, sale timing, tax and transfer cost can change the real result.

Questions to ask

  • In whose name and where are the securities held?
  • What are the conditions for sale before maturity?
  • What are purchase, custody and transfer costs?
  • What independent official source supports any residence claim?

Conclusion

Assess the financial and residence decisions in two separate tables. Combine them only after both paths are clear.
