Frequently asked questions
Does Apple really accept Armenian entities?
Yes. Armenia isn't under sanctions, and Apple works with its jurisdiction as normal.
Can I simply change the country on my old account?
No. Apple doesn't allow the country or account type to be changed after creation. A new account has to be registered in the Armenian entity's name.
Do I have to travel to Armenia?
No. Every step — registration, opening the account, setting up the Apple account — is done remotely.
How does Apple's verification work?
Apple checks the company's registration data, the bank account and the address. The company provides step-by-step instructions and support through the process.
What does the Apple Developer Program cost?
$99 a year — the standard membership fee, paid from an Armenian bank card, separately from the company's services.
Which bank is best for Apple payouts?
The company picks the best bank for the specific case — with minimal fees and convenient online banking.
What tax applies to App Store payouts in Armenia?
App Store payouts count as royalty income and are taxed at 10%. A separate 1% rate applies to income from selling a digital product, providing services or a subscription. Registration for the simplified regime must happen within 20 days of registering the sole trader.
