Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

Citizenship of an Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member state creates this right: EAEU citizens working in Armenia are exempt from acquiring an Armenian work permit and may instead obtain a certificate confirming their legal residence.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?

The remaining formality is to acquire this legal-residence certificate, which is necessary for exercising the worker's rights in Armenia, for example to cross the border without incurring administrative liability when staying for more than 180 days. The official source does not describe the application process, documents or issuing office for the certificate.
