Frequently asked questions

If your case is unusual, it is best to check in advance.

Who exactly needs a work permit?

Usually, foreigners working for a Georgian employer (including remotely) and self‐employed persons conducting business in Georgia (sole proprietors, contractors, partners). The exact qualification depends on the scenario and status.

Do I need a permit if I work remotely?

There are different types of remote work: remote work for a Georgian employer and completely remote work without entering Georgia are different cases. We analyze your situation and provide a practical plan.

What happens after approval?

Next, you need to secure your status: apply for a residence permit in Georgia or obtain a D1 visa (if you are abroad). It is important not to miss the deadlines and to prepare the package of documents correctly.
