Руководство для экспатов: Жизнь в Грузии 2026

Georgia (the Caucasus country) has emerged as one of the most popular destinations for digital nomads, entrepreneurs and expats worldwide. The reasons: 365-day visa-free entry for 95+ nationalities, a flat 20% income tax (1% for small businesses), ultra-low cost of living, fast internet and a young, cosmopolitan capital in Tbilisi.

🛂 Варианты виз и проживания

Тип визыПодробности
Visa-Free Stay (365 days)Citizens of 95+ countries (including USA, EU, UK, Canada, Australia) can stay 365 consecutive days without a visa. No income or investment requirement. The simplest option for digital nomads.
Residency by InvestmentInvestment in Georgian real estate or business. Minimum $100,000 in real estate OR $300,000 in business. Temporary residency for 6 years, then permanent.
Employment ResidencyFor those employed by a Georgian company. Employer applies on your behalf. Temporary residency.
Permanent ResidencyAfter 6 years of continuous legal residence. Or by marriage to a Georgian citizen (3 years).
Citizenship by InvestmentExceptional status granted by Presidential decree. Requires significant economic contribution. Rare but possible.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Citizens of 95+ countries: simply enter Georgia with a valid passport — no pre-arrival visa needed
  2. Register your stay at the House of Justice (სამართლის სახლი) if staying 30+ days
  3. Obtain a Personal Identification Number (personal ID) at the Public Услуга Hall
  4. Open a Georgian bank account (requires passport + Georgian phone number)
  5. Register for tax purposes at the Revenue Услуга (rs.ge) if earning Georgian income
  6. For residency: apply at the Civil Registry Agency with investment proof
💡 Совет: Georgia's 1% flat tax on annual revenue up to 500,000 GEL (~$180,000) for small status businesses makes it extraordinarily attractive for freelancers and entrepreneurs. Register as a 'Small Business' (მცირე ბიზნესი) or 'Virtual Zone Company' for IT businesses (0% corporate tax, 5% dividend tax).

🏥 Здравоохранение in Georgia

Государственная медицина

Georgia has a Universal Healthcare programme (UHC) that provides basic coverage to all Georgian citizens and legal residents. Foreigners without residency are not covered. Emergency treatment is available to all, but costs must be paid privately.

Частная медицина

Private hospitals in Tbilisi are modern and affordable: Mediclub Georgia, Todua Medical Centre, Acad. O. Gudushauri Hospital, American Medical Center. Quality varies — major hospitals in Tbilisi are good; rural areas have limited facilities.

Typical Стоимости

УслугаСтоимость
Private Прием терапевта30–80 GEL (~$11–29)
Прием специалиста50–150 GEL (~$18–55)
Emergency (private hospital)100–500 GEL (~$36–182)
Hospitalisation (private, за ночь)150–600 GEL (~$55–218)
Чистка зубов30–70 GEL (~$11–25)
Basic blood tests20–50 GEL (~$7–18)
ℹ️ Рекомендуется: Healthcare is very cheap in Georgia. Even without insurance, paying out of pocket for routine care is affordable. International health insurance is recommended primarily for serious illness, surgery or medical evacuation.

🛡️ Health Insurance in Georgia

Health insurance is not required for visa-free stays in Georgia. However, it is strongly recommended given the limitations of the public health system and the need for medical evacuation coverage for serious conditions.

🏠 Buying Property in Georgia

Georgia has no restrictions on foreign property ownership. Foreigners can buy any type of property — apartments, houses, commercial — with the same rights as Georgian citizens. The market is transparent, prices are low, and the process is quick. Investment ≥$100,000 qualifies for residency.

Options for Foreigners

Freehold Purchase
Full ownership. No restrictions. Registered at the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). Most secure and straightforward.
Residency Qualification
Property investment ≥$100,000 qualifies for a 6-year temporary residency permit.
Off-Plan / New Development
Popular in Tbilisi, Batumi and Gudauri. Developers offer flexible payment plans. Batumi (Black Sea) is a popular short-term rental market.

Процесс покупки

  1. No lawyer strictly required (system is very simple) but highly recommended for foreigners
  2. Agree price with seller — a real estate agent is optional
  3. Visit the House of Justice (სამართლის სახლი) together
  4. Present passports of buyer and seller
  5. Sign the purchase agreement and pay
  6. Registration completed on-the-spot or within 1–4 business days

💡 Совет: Georgia has one of the world's simplest property purchase systems. Two people walk into a House of Justice, sign a document and walk out with a new ownership certificate — sometimes in under an hour. No lawyers, no notaries, no complex due diligence required (though still recommended). Batumi has a booming short-term rental market with yields of 8–12%.
