Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Georgia to keep the visa?

No. The investment residency permit does not require an effective minimum stay in the first year. After 5 years, effective residency of at least 180 days/year is required to claim permanent residency.

Does the visa give access to citizenship?

After 10 years of effective residency, naturalization is possible but remains discretionary. Dual citizenship is not automatic.

What taxes apply on the purchase?

No registration duty on Georgian real estate purchase. Only notary fees (~$200) and valuation (~$150) apply.
