Not "buy property, get residency" — a broader strategy, coordinated properly

Invest in Georgia. Create Opportunities Beyond Real Estate.

For many international investors the purchase isn't purely financial — it's a second home, a base for family, business flexibility, or a residency pathway. Georgian property ownership can be part of that broader strategy. We help you understand the options and coordinate the right professionals.

Section 01 — Why Combine

Real Estate as a Gateway to Georgia

Financial

  • Rental income & asset ownership
  • Appreciation potential
  • Portfolio diversification outside your home market

Lifestyle

  • A second-home base in the region
  • Family relocation possibilities
  • Lower cost of living than most Western markets

Strategic

  • Regional mobility & European proximity
  • Business flexibility in an open economy
  • Optionality — income today, options tomorrow
Section 02 — Current Pathways

Georgia Residency Options

The three routes most relevant to investors, stated with current rules and dates — because immigration rules change, and platforms that don't date their claims mislead you.

Property-based

Residence via Real Estate

  • Real estate valued at $150,000+ (threshold raised from $100k for applications after March 1, 2026)
  • Renewable 1-year residence permit
  • Spouse & children eligible alongside the owner
  • Certified property valuation documentation required
  • Ownership itself never expires — the permit is optional, not a condition
Business / Work

Entrepreneur & Employment Routes

  • For company founders, entrepreneurs and employees of Georgian entities
  • Company registration in Georgia is fast and low-cost
  • Often combined with property ownership for a stronger overall footing
  • Requirements depend on activity and turnover — assessed case by case
Family

Family-Based Options

  • Spouse, children and dependents of permit holders
  • Typically follows the primary applicant's pathway
  • School and neighborhood planning matter here — we help with both
Rules change. Figures above reflect Georgian legislation as of August 2026 (Law on the Legal Status of Aliens, amended June 2025). Eligibility is always confirmed by licensed immigration professionals before you commit capital — that's part of our process, not an afterthought. Check current eligibility →
Section 03 — The Investor Journey

From First Call to Ongoing Ownership

Investment Consultation

Budget, goals, strategy, residency objectives — the whole picture first

Income asset, personal residence, or both — including the $150k+ eligibility line if residency matters

3

Search, negotiation, legal coordination, registration — remote via POA if needed

4

Residency Application

Licensed immigration professionals handle the application; we coordinate documentation

5

Ongoing Ownership

Management, rental optimization, monthly and annual reporting

Section 04 — Which Investor Are You?

Four Motivations, One Platform

The Income Investor

"Generate rental income." A ~$153k all-in Saburtalo strategy producing ≈$1,000/month, owned entirely remotely under full management — Blueprint 01. The permit is a bonus, not the point.

The Relocation Investor

"Move to Georgia." Needs a home, school options, neighborhood guidance and residency support — our relocation services plus the property purchase, one coordinated journey.

The Global Diversifier

"Hold international assets." Wants stable freehold ownership, professional management, and a local partner who reports like a fund manager. The permit keeps future options open.

The Entrepreneur

"Build business opportunities." Commercial property, company setup, and a local network — Georgia's business registration takes days, and the business route can anchor residency independently of the property.

Section 05 — Family & Lifestyle

"What Is Life Like in Georgia?"

The honest answer takes more than a section — which is why it lives in our relocation resources, built from years of settling foreign families into Tbilisi:

Section 07 — Professional Support

We Coordinate. Licensed Professionals Execute.

Tbilisi Home is not a law firm, and this page is not legal advice — and any platform that blurs that line should worry you. What we do: coordinate a vetted network of licensed immigration lawyers, real estate attorneys, tax advisors and certified translators, manage the documentation flow, and stay your single point of contact throughout.

How it's charged: orientation and coordination are included for our property clients. Formal legal and immigration work is performed by the licensed professionals, who bill their services directly and transparently.

What the network covers

  • Purchase contracts & title diligence
  • Residence-permit applications & renewals
  • Tax registration & the 5% landlord regime
  • Certified translation & notarization
  • Company formation for the business route
Section 08 — Where Do You Stand?
