Frequently Asked Questions

Bodyguard hire in Yerevan is available through operators licensed by the Armenian Police. Standard deployments include mobile close protection with vetted security drivers for all principal movements, advance work including hotel and venue security surveys, and residential security arrangements for longer stays. The medium risk rating of Yerevan (FCDO advises a high degree of caution; US State Dept Level 2, border areas Level 3 (2026)) determines the minimum protective posture – contact a specialist operator to assess the appropriate team configuration for your specific threat profile.

Team configuration for Yerevan is determined by the principal’s individual threat profile, the programme of meetings and events, the duration of the visit, and the specific risk geography of planned locations. In Armenian post-conflict geopolitical environment, the minimum deployment for a single corporate principal typically consists of a dedicated close protection officer and a vetted security driver. Higher-risk profiles or programmes with multiple simultaneous movements require a larger team. A threat assessment conducted before the deployment determines the appropriate configuration.

Close protection officers in Armenia must meet the requirements of the Armenian Police under the Law on Private Security Activities (1999, as amended). Licensing typically requires demonstrated professional competence, identity verification, and criminal record clearance. International operators deploying in Yerevan work through locally licensed partners. Request written confirmation of licensing compliance from any operator before committing to a deployment – unlicensed operators present both security and legal exposure for the client organisation.

Emergency procedures for Yerevan deployments must be established before the principal arrives. The close protection plan must specify: police contact protocol (emergency number: confirm locally), nearest medical facility (Nairi Medical Centre), medevac pre-authorisation to Tbilisi or Istanbul, communications backup if primary network fails, and crisis comms protocol for the principal’s organisation. Medevac insurance pre-authorisation is a non-negotiable requirement for any Yerevan deployment.
