How it works in Georgia
Residence permits are issued by the State Services Agency; appointments are taken at the House of Justice. A distinctive feature of Georgia is the long visa-free period for many countries: some people live here legally without a residence permit at all, and the first the question is always whether you actually need the status.
What we need from you to get started
- International passport and clarity on what basis you are currently in the country
- Grounds for a residence permit: employment, your own business, real estate, study, or family
- Basis documents with an apostille and a translation certified in Georgia
Where things most often go wrong
- —Applied for a residence permit that wasn’t actually needed: the visa-free period was sufficient, and a subsequent rejection of the application then creates obstacles
- —Applied under the property route without verifying that the property met the eligibility requirements
- —Translation done abroad and not certified under Georgian requirements
- —Left the country while awaiting a decision and missed a request for documents
Unlike Spain and Turkey, where you can barely do anything without a status, in Georgia, a bank account, sole proprietorship, and rental are all available without a residence permit. That is why here we more often talk people out of a status than file for one.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
