What clients should know.
1. Georgia offers one of the most accessible residence permit regimes in the region, with practical investment and business-based pathways for foreign nationals.
2. Obtaining a Georgian residence permit does not automatically establish tax residency — a separate analysis under the Georgian tax legislation is required.
3. Holding residence permits in multiple jurisdictions may create conflicting tax residency positions and must be carefully managed.
4. Georgian residence permits for foreign nationals generally require periodic renewal and evidence of continued eligibility.
5. EU residence permits typically require the holder to maintain minimum periods of physical presence in the relevant member state to retain and renew status.
6. Investment vehicles established to support a residence permit application must be properly documented and actively maintained.
