It was adopted on November 6, 1995 and was amended in 2007 which permitted dual citizenship. Acquisition of Armenian citizenshipThe citizenship of Armenia is acquired:
It includes the right of return for members of the Armenian diaspora. BirthA child born in Armenia acquires the citizenship of Armenia if:
If, at the moment of child's birth, one of the parents holds an Armenian citizenship and the other parent is a foreign citizen, the determination of the child's citizenship is based on a written consent of both parents. A child of stateless persons who was born in the territory of Armenia acquires citizenship of Armenia. RecognitionThe following persons are recognised as citizens of Armenia:
NaturalizationAny person who does not have an Armenian citizenship may be granted citizenship of Armenia if he/she:
A person who does not hold Armenian citizenship can be granted citizenship of Armenia without the condition of the term of residence, if he/she:
The person accepting the citizenship of Armenia is to read the text of the oath in Armenian and sign it. Dual citizenshipDual citizenship was authorised after the constitutional amendment of the Armenian Citizenship Law No. 75-N on February 26, 2007. Military serviceAll male dual citizens, regardless where they live, are required to serve in the military as if they were Armenian resident citizen with certain exceptions. Foreign born male Armenians have gotten in trouble with the law when they visited Armenia, because they held an Armenian citizenship without knowledge and failed to register to serve in the military. Most male Armenian citizens living outside of Armenia do not return to serve in the military. Armenian citizenship does not end if a citizen's passport expires, or if an Armenian citizen lives outside of Armenia for extended period of time. An Armenian citizen must submit a paper application to renounce his or her citizenship, go through a process and be approved. The child of two Armenian citizen parents, regardless of his or her place of birth, acquires Armenian citizenship. There now exists an option to do civil service instead of military, but civil service takes 46 months instead of the 24 months in the military, and those who are interested must apply early. Those who have reached 27 years of age and did not serve, may pay a fine of about $4,500, and avoid prosecution for evading military service. One must always consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in Armenian citizenship before speaking to Armenian government officials. The citizen of a foreign state who has accepted Armenian citizenship is be exempt from compulsory military service if, before the acceptance of Armenian citizenship, the citizen has served in the armed forces of the foreign state for no less than 12 months, or has completed alternative military service for no less than 18 months, except for the states defined by the Government of the Republic of Armenia.[1] For Diaspora Armenians who wish to be exempt from military service, a Special Residency Status is also available in the Republic of Armenia. Special Residency StatusThe Republic of Armenia allows foreign citizens to receive a 10-year Special Residency Status, granted to foreign citizens of Armenian ancestry and also to other distinguished individuals, who have provided significant services to the Armenian state and nation and/or are engaged in economic and cultural activities in Armenia.[2] Those granted Special Residency Status are issued Special Armenian Passports and are no longer be required to obtain entry visas for traveling to Armenia. While in Armenia, they enjoy the full protection of the Armenian law, as well as the rights and obligations of Armenian citizens, except for the right to vote and to run for office, enroll in political organizations. They are exempt from military service in the Armed Forces of Armenia. The Special Passport, however, does not waive visa requirements for other CIS countries or to other countries that provide visa-free travel to bearers of an Armenian passport. Travelling to those countries requires the bearer of the Special Passport to use his or her national passport.[2] The survivors of the Armenian Genocide are granted Special Passports through a facilitated procedure, and the application fee is waived.[2] Visa requirements{{main|Visa requirements for Armenian citizens}}In 2017, Armenian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 58 countries and territories, ranking the Armenian passport 78th in terms of travel freedom (tied with Beninese, Kyrgyzstani and Moroccan passports) according to the Henley visa restrictions index.[3] See also
