As of November 1, the new online platform for managing residence-related cases, mcs-permits.am, has been launched.

Following the launch of the new platform, it is no longer possible to submit new applications through the workpermit.am platform. However, applicants may still track the progress of applications previously submitted through the former platform.

Please also be informed that, whereas the validity period of a temporary residence card or a certificate confirming the lawfulness of residence obtained through the workpermit.am platform could previously be extended, the new mcs-permits.am platform allows applicants to submit only a “New Application” before the expiry date of their existing residence card.

How to Register on the New Platform
