Except for special residence status, a foreigner may appeal – through judicial procedure – against a refusal of an application filed for obtaining or extending a residence status.

If the validity period of the entry visa or of the residence status of a foreigner expires prior to the examination of the case by the court or entry into force of the decision rendered by the court, the public administration body authorized in the field of police of the Republic of Armenia shall issue a temporary stay permit to him or her until such time as the court decision takes legal effect.

If the court upholds the decision on the refusal to obtain or extend a residence status, a foreigner shall be obliged to voluntarily leave the territory of the Republic of Armenia within a term of ten days following the taking of legal effect of the court decision.

Where the granting of a residence status is refused, a foreigner may again apply for obtaining a residence status after one year; this shall be indicated in the decision on refusal.

A shorter term may be established by the Government of the Republic of Armenia for obtaining temporary residence status for study purposes.
