SWIFT transfer via Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi (25-50 USD) or Wise, Revolut USA. No exchange controls. FBAR (FinCEN 114) and Form 8938 declarations mandatory for foreign accounts exceeding $10,000. The real estate itself is not declarable via FBAR.
Cryptocurrency payment (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH) is accepted by most of our partner developers. Conversion to GEL or USD is carried out by a regulated Georgian provider (on-ramp transfer), with an official invoice. This avoids SWIFT fees and international transfer delays.
