1. Introduction<\/h3>\n

As part of the strategy to gradually open the country and to boost the tourism industry the Georgian Government has decided to allow foreign citizens to enter Georgia under a special regime. A new platform ” Remotely from Georgia” has been launched for foreign citizens wishing to work remotely in Georgia. The project is aimed at foreigners who are freelancers (self-employed); are employed and work remotely, or can run their own business from anywhere in the world. According to the developed project, the Government of Georgia will exceptionally allow the crossing of the border of citizens of all countries, who will have the right to live on the territory of Georgia for at least six months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

2. Requirements of Remotely From Georgia project<\/h3>\n

The status of a small business is granted by the tax authority, in particular the Revenue Service of Georgia, and if the application is approved, it issues a small business certificate within a reasonable time after receiving the application.<\/span>
\nThe status of a small business is granted to a person from the first day of the month following the month of the application for the status of a small business to the tax authority and the person is considered to have the status from that date.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project Remotely from Georgia is applicable for all travelers (up to 95 country nationals and residents including United States, EU, Gulf countries, etc.) who could visit Georgia and can stay in the country for up to a year without visa. Relevantly, there will be no special visa category issued for travelers willing to remotely work from Georgia. Complete list of approved countries can be found here. According to the project, there are three categories: self-employed, those currently employed with distance work allowance from their employers, business owners and entrepreneurs, who will be able to fill out an application, indicate simple and clear personal information, where they must prove that they have financial ability and will be able to pay all taxes and cross the border during their stay in Georgia in order to obtain prior confirmation of a country border crossing. The participants in the project will undergo an 8-day mandatory quarantine, the costs of which will be reimbursed by foreign citizens themselves. Despite the project being informally called \u201cDigital Nomad Visa\u201d \u2013 it is just an entry permit and no visa is required and the visa issuance procedures are avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n
