$3,900· Full service · No hidden fees

Why Georgia?

Residency through freelance registration: Register as Individual Entrepreneur. Get legal residency. No property or company required.

No minimum stay requirement: Maintain your residency without living in Georgia full-time.

Territorial tax system: Foreign income completely untaxed. Only Georgia-source income is taxed.

1% small business tax: Opt for 1% tax on gross income up to GEL 500,000 (~$185,000/year). No complicated accounting.

Note for U.S. citizens: The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence. Georgia’s territorial system benefits non-U.S. persons directly. Americans still get residency, banking, and business benefits.

Fast approval: 10-30 days for residency permit after IE registration.

Low cost of living: Tbilisi offers quality life at fraction of Western costs.

English widely spoken: Especially in Tbilisi and business centers.

Strategic location: Bridge between Europe and Asia. Easy access to both regions.

Important Notes

Territorial taxation: Foreign income untaxed. Only Georgia-source income faces Georgian tax.

1% tax is optional: Small Business status gives 1% tax on gross up to GEL 500,000 (~$185,000/year).

Exceeding the threshold once: If you exceed GEL 500,000 in one year, tax rate jumps to 3% retroactively on the entire year’s income. You keep Small Business Status.

Exceeding twice in a row: If you exceed GEL 500,000 in two consecutive years, Small Business Status is automatically revoked on January 1 of the third year. Standard tax rates apply going forward.

No minimum stay: Maintain residency without living in Georgia full-time. Visit when convenient.

Annual turnover requirement: Must maintain GEL 50,000+ annual turnover to renew residency. Bank statements or contracts verify this.

Banking access: Georgian residency and IE status open doors to local banking.

Right to Work: As of March 2026, formal Right to Work authorization required. Included in our setup.

Ideal for global planning: Georgia freelance residency combines well with offshore structures and territorial tax strategies.
