Hightlights

Who relocation to Georgia is particularly suitable for

International investors

Georgia follows the territorial principle of taxation, so tax residents do not have to pay tax on international income. The 0% rate applies to dividends and capital gains from the sale of foreign securities.

Crypto enthusiasts

Georgia is a “tax haven” for owners of digital assets because it does not tax income from the sale of cryptocurrencies. There are many exchanges, exchange services, and crypto ATMs in Georgia.

Individuals with passive income

Foreign pensions, income from bank deposits in foreign banks, and royalties are also tax-free, provided the payments are not related to activities carried out in Georgia.

Sole proprietors and business owners

Georgia ranks 2nd in the world for ease of starting a business and 7th for ease of doing business, according to the World Bank. You can set up a company or become a sole proprietor in just one day. There are zero-tax regimes for joint-stock companies (JSCs) and limited liability companies (LLCs), while sole proprietors can pay 1% of their turnover on income earned in Georgia.

Freelancers and IT Specialists

Georgia ranks second on Nomad Capitalist’s list of the best countries for remote work, and Tbilisi placed in the top 10 most livable cities for expats out of 1,400 cities (!) on the HotelWithTub 2025 report.

Foreign nationals without long-term plans

Citizens of about 100 countries can stay in Georgia for up to a year without a visa. Use the time to get to know the country and leave the decision about residency until later.
