About
What is Family Reunification in Georgia?
Family reunification is an immigration pathway that allows your close family members to obtain Georgian residence permits based on their relationship with you - a Georgian citizen or legal resident. Instead of qualifying independently through work or investment, they qualify through family ties.
If you're already legally established in Georgia - whether as a citizen, permanent resident, or temporary resident - your spouse, minor children, adult dependent children, and parents may be eligible to join you with their own residence permits.
This is the most straightforward path for families who want to live together in Georgia. Your family members don't need job offers, business registrations, or property investments. The qualifying factor is your relationship and your established legal status in the country.

Georgia does not legally recognize same-sex marriages. Unfortunately, same-sex partners cannot sponsor each other through family reunification regardless of marriage status in other countries. Alternative pathways (work permits, real estate) may be available for both partners independently.

Apply in Georgia or from abroad?
For most clients, applying in person at the Public Service Hall in Georgia is faster and smoother - we can accompany your family to appointments and the process is more predictable. If your family member can't travel yet or needs a visa to enter Georgia, they can apply at a Georgian embassy abroad. We offer remote support packages for those cases. [See FAQ for details]
