Staying long-term
A roof over your head, the paperwork sorted, and clarity on where you pay taxes
The second year in the country is no longer about the move — it’s about making life settled. Status, housing, school, and a conversation that no one usually brings up: after 183 days in Georgia you become a local tax resident, and this changes the way your home looks.
Who it suits. For those who gave it a try and decided to stay.
What is included
- We apply for a residence permit
- We help you find housing for a year
- We help enroll your child in school
- We determine when you become a tax resident and what that changes
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Government fee — from 300 GEL
- Tax residency certificate — a separate service
- Deposit and rent
From 1 March 2026, earning income in Georgia without the right to work is a violation, and the fines here run into thousands of lari. Those who were working before the reform must act in time until 1 January 2027. The trap is not in the permit itself: after it is issued, the application o the residence permit remains ten days. Market sells these two documents separately, and almost no one mentions the ten days does not write — we track both deadlines.
⚠️ About banking: Georgian banks have tightened their checks for Russian citizens and Belarus. In addition to the standard package, they will ask for an extended form, a bank statement on accounts for six months in English and confirmation that you are not on sanctions lists. Prepare your statement in advance — without it, the conversation at the bank will not begin. We make no promises about account opening: that decision rests with the bank.
Status, housing, and school — in one go, with a review of tax residency.
Prices are in Georgian lari; the dollar figure is for reference. Government fees are paid separately and directly. 18% VAT does not apply to these services: it only applies once turnover exceeds 100,000 GEL within a 12-month period. SVOY initial consultation — 150 GEL · $56, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
Housing rental and purchase, documents, bank accounts and taxes, schooling, driving licence — 49 services in Georgia, each has its own price.
