Immigration Overview
Georgia offers one of the most accessible immigration situations in the world. Citizens of 95+ countries can stay visa-free for 365 days, and the residency process is straightforward. Add in territorial taxation (0% on foreign income) and a cost of living that's a fraction of Western standards, and you understand why Tbilisi has become a digital nomad hotspot.
We help you navigate the visa-free stay, residency permits, and the unique aspects of Georgian life, from opening bank accounts to understanding the supra feast culture that makes this country so memorable.
