In recent years, Tbilisi has become a magnet for families seeking quality education and a comfortable life in Georgia. Private schools in the capital offer modern programs, international standards, and comfortable conditions for children.

But an important advantage of studying at a private school in Georgia is the opportunity to obtain a residence permit (RP). First, the child can apply for it, and then the parents can follow suit on the basis of family reunification. Today, this is one of the easiest and fastest ways to legalize your status in the country.

Education and residence permits: why it matters

When choosing a private school in Tbilisi, parents accomplish two goals at once:

1. They provide their child with a high‐quality education that meets modern standards.
2. They obtain a legal basis for residing in Georgia by applying for a residence permit.

This route is often easier and more affordable than investment or business programs.
