Expat insurance
Expat insurance in Armenia
Comprehensive cover for people who've actually moved to Armenia: multi-year stability, no trip caps, and the proper inpatient/outpatient stack you want when this is home now.
Armenia gives most Western passport holders a generous 180 days visa-free, and longer stays run through a one-year residence permit, usually as a registered private entrepreneur. There is no branded digital nomad visa and, unlike most countries, the permit does not demand proof of insurance, only a medical certificate. The thing actually worth insuring is serious illness and evacuation, because care thins out fast outside Yerevan and this is a landlocked country where complex cases often leave it.

Expat insurance in Armenia: FAQ
In most cases Armenia expects long-stay residents and visa applicants to show proof of health coverage. The specific bar (carrier, sum insured, residency-vs-travel cover) depends on your visa class; the Armenia guide covers the country's current visa-and-residency stance.
Premiums vary by age, plan and deductible far more than by country; the underwriting risk is priced, not the postal code. The Armenia guide breaks down local treatment costs so you can see what your insurance protects you from, then run a real quote for your own number.
