This page aims to provide information on GEO Legal’s “Work Residence” service, which helps individuals and companies obtain residence and work permits in Georgia. This service is designed for those who wish to live and work in Georgia and need assistance with the complex and often confusing process of obtaining the necessary permits.

If you’re a foreigner wanting to work or start a business in Georgia, you’ll need a work residence permit. This is a piece of paper that says you can carry out your entrepreneurial or labor activities in the country. To get one, you must show that you’re already doing business or working in Georgia and making enough money to support yourself. Specifically, your monthly income needs to be at least five times the average cost of living in Georgia, and your business or employer needs to have an annual turnover of at least GEL 50,000 (unless you’re in the education or medical industry, in which case it’s GEL 35,000). It’s all a bit complicated, but don’t worry – we’re here to help you navigate the process and get your Georgia work residence permit sorted out.

Obtaining a work residence permit in Georgia comes with many benefits. Firstly, it allows the holder to legally work and reside in the country for a specified time.
