By Betsy Burlingame

Last updated on Dec 05, 2023

Summary: The pros of living in Armenia include its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty, and vibrant cities. Armenia is also known for its excellent education system, with many universities offering world-class programs. Additionally, the cost of living in Armenia is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. On the other hand, the country has a high unemployment rate and a weak economy, making it difficult for many to find stable employment. Additionally, Armenia is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, making it a risky place to live.

What are the pros and cons of living in Armenia?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Armenia responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Armenia appreciate the country's low cost of living, friendly locals, and stunning natural beauty. They also enjoy the vibrant culture, delicious food, and the fact that Armenia is a safe and secure place to live. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and lack of modern infrastructure to be challenging. Additionally, the country's limited job opportunities and slow internet speeds can be a source of frustration," explained one expat in Armenia.
