FAQ - Georgia Real Estate Residency Program
Georgia offers residence permit options for eligible foreign nationals who acquire qualifying real estate in the country. Depending on the value and structure of the investment, applicants may qualify either for a short-term residence permit or for a higher-tier investment residence route
As of 1 March 2026, the property value threshold for a short-term residence permit is more than USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, based on the market value of the real estate as established by a certified accredited assessor.
No. The previous USD 100,000 threshold has been replaced. Under the current legal framework, the relevant property value threshold for this route is now more than USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL.
A qualifying investment of at least USD 300,000 equivalent in GEL may support an investment residence permit. Where the permit is based on ownership of qualifying real estate above this threshold, the investor may later apply for an unlimited residence permit after maintaining the qualifying basis for the required period.
A short-term residence permit may be issued for one year at a time and may be extended, provided the qualifying conditions continue to be met. If the applicant retains ownership of the qualifying real estate, a new valuation is generally not required for extension.
Yes. The law provides that the qualifying real estate route may extend to the applicant’s spouse and child or children, subject to the applicable legal and documentary requirements.
The law refers to ownership of an immovable thing within the territory of Georgia, excluding agricultural land. In practice, this generally means qualifying non-agricultural real estate, subject to proper registration and valuation.
The residence basis depends on continued ownership of the qualifying property. If ownership is terminated, the short-term residence permit may also be terminated. For the higher investment residence route, a replacement property of the same or higher value may be used if the legal conditions are met before the original ownership ends.
Yes. The market value of the property must be established by a certified assessor from a body accredited by the Georgian Accreditation Centre, in line with the legal requirements.
Applications are typically submitted through the Public Service Hall or the relevant state service framework in Georgia, together with the required property, valuation, identity, and supporting documents. A properly structured file is important for efficient processing.
