Yerevan

Regional snapshot

• Why this metro vs the rest of the country: The national summary highlights Yerevan's café culture and tech sector, and notes specialist healthcare access thins outside the capital—matching the example-cities list that leads with Yerevan before regional hubs.
• Logistics: Driving notes describe a Yerevan metro, buses, marshrutkas, and South Caucasus Railway links toward Gyumri—useful for trips, not a separate immigration category from the rest of Armenia.
• Daily life / housing: Pros cite Numbeo-style value versus US composites; cons flag earthquake risk, Soviet-era heating costs, and air-quality episodes in the Yerevan basin—plan from the national profile, not city-specific visa rules.
• Languages: Armenian and Russian dominate official and everyday commerce; the profile says English is growing in Yerevan tech, outsourcing, hospitality, and international schools, but still expects Armenian or Russian plus certified translation for many healthcare, property, tax, and migration documents outside expat-heavy pockets.
• Watch-outs: Armenia is EAEU and not EU/Schengen—the profile contrasts banking and long-stay context with Latvia or Poland. Remote-worker and IT temporary residence routes publish income thresholds in AMD that change—verify Migration and Citizenship Service and e-Government pages before you move.
• Security: Cons mention regional security, border sensitivities, and unofficial crossings—follow US State Department advice and Armenian official guidance; movement rules can differ near sensitive areas.
