Yerevan and the rest of Armenia
Why this matters in Yerevan
Armenia draws foreign business, and Yerevan receives delegations from Europe, Asia, the United States and the former Soviet states. Most companies still hand the greeting to whoever happens to be free – an office manager, a colleague between tasks. Put someone unprepared in that moment and it turns awkward – when it should have made an impression.

Questions
What people ask most often
Can we book someone for a single visit?
Yes, and it is the most common request. A single booking covers one date and one guest. We also place staff for visits of several days and for permanent reception work.
How fast can you find someone?
Normally 3–5 days. If a partner arrives tomorrow, say so when you write and we work faster.
Do we need a separate interpreter?
Not necessarily. An interpreter who also runs the visit covers the language and the logistics at once, which costs less than hiring two people.
What is your fee?
For a one-off event we quote against the brief: the format, the length and the standing of the guest all count. For permanent staff the usual arrangement applies: 50 % of the monthly salary, of which the client pays 25 %.
What about confidentiality?
What we learn about your guests, your partners and your talks stays inside the agency. For a protocol visit that is a condition, not a courtesy.
