Under Georgian legislation, there is a rather extensive list of countries whose citizens can enter Georgia visa-free.
Moreover, Georgia does not require a work or labor permit. Anyone who is legally present in the country can freely work in Georgia and/or work remotely from Georgia.
As a result, in recent years, Georgia has become a true immigration hub for foreigners who are able to work remotely. Its liberal immigration legislation and the simple procedures for obtaining the necessary immigration documents are highly attractive to foreign freelancers. On top of that, Georgia offers equally liberal tax regulations and various tax benefits—especially for those working in the tech sector.
Georgian legislation provides several categories of residence permits that can serve as a legal basis for your stay in the country, including:
- Work residence permit
- Study residence permit
- Residence permit for family reunification
- Investment residence permit
- Short-term residence permit
- Permanent residence permit, and others.
Of course, each category of residence permit comes with its own requirements and prerequisites. Choosing the most suitable category for you depends on your specific circumstances, the purpose of your visit to Georgia, your financial standing, and other similar factors.
