What is the Real Estate Residence Permit?
Georgia offers one of Europe's most accessible investment-based residence programs. Purchase real estate worth at least $100,000 USD, and you qualify for a short-term residence permit - no job offer needed, no business to run, no language test to pass.
The permit is valid for 1 year and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain property ownership. After 6 years of continuous legal residency, you become eligible for permanent residence. It's a straightforward path from property investor to long-term resident.
This route is perfect for retirees, remote workers who don't want work-based permits, families looking for a second home, and investors who want the security of legal residency tied to a tangible asset. Your property can be residential or commercial - apartments, houses, office space, or even land with buildings.
Perfect for
Retirees Seeking a Second Home
Remote Workers & Digital Nomads
Families Wanting Stability
Real Estate Investors
Those Building a Plan B
High Net Worth Individuals
Vacation Home Buyers
Those Avoiding Work-Based Permits

Why Get a Georgia Residence Permit?
Stop living in legal limbo. Here's what official residency unlocks.
Qualification
What Qualifies
Residential apartments
Houses and villas
Commercial real estate
Mixed-use properties
Multiple properties totaling $100K+
New construction or resale
What Doesn't Qualify
Agricultural land (without buildings)
Properties under $100,000 total
Rental deposits or leases
Properties not in your name
Shared ownership below threshold
How It's Calculated
Based on cadastral (official) value
Or purchase price if higher
USD equivalent at time of purchase
Joint ownership with spouse counts
Must be registered in Public Registry
Cadastral values in Georgia are often lower than market prices. Make sure your property's registered value meets the $100,000 threshold, or have the official valuation updated before applying. We help verify this before you commit.

How Property Purchase Works in Georgia
Most working professionals qualify. Here's what you need.
We help with property, but we're not realtors. Our service focuses on the residence permit process. We can recommend trusted real estate agents and lawyers for your property search and due diligence. Once you've purchased (or are close to closing), we handle the residency application.
Long-Term Path
Year 1
Initial residence permit issued (valid 1 year)
Years 2-6
Annual renewals (as long as you own qualifying property)
Year 6+
Eligible for permanent residence permit (no property requirement to maintain)
Year 10+
Eligible for Georgian citizenship (language requirement applies)
Renewal Details
Your real estate residence permit is renewable indefinitely as long as you maintain property ownership meeting the $100,000 threshold. The renewal process is straightforward:
Apply 1-2 months before expiration
Provide updated property extract showing continued ownership
Standard documents (passport, photos, insurance)
No need to re-prove the purchase, just ownership continuity
What If You Sell?
If you sell your property, your current permit remains valid until expiration. You have that time to either:
Purchase new qualifying property
Switch to a different permit type (work-based, etc.)
Plan your departure
We help clients navigate these transitions smoothly.
