Truly, it is a heaven for digital nomads Georgia. But through this blog I want to mention the most profited and practical advantages of working from Georgia:

In addition, if a person spends 183 or more days in Georgia, the Georgian law allows the person to get a tax residence, which means that the person is exempted from the foreign taxes and pays only the lowest Georgian taxes. Thus, people doing their regular international business can legally get rid of unnecessary taxes. We do help foreign residents to obtain tax residence in Georgia.
