Georgia Residence by Investment

Georgia offers a residence by investment program that allows non-Georgian nationals to obtain a 6 year renewable Georgian residence permit by investing a minimum of USD 300,000 (or equivalent) in qualifying real estate property in Georgia. The investment must be maintained for the duration of the residence permit. The application process is streamlined and relatively straightforward compared to EU programs, with processing typically completed within a few weeks of submission of a complete application package to the Public Service Hall in Georgia.

Georgia operates one of the most business friendly tax regimes in the region: the corporate income tax rate for distributed profits is 15% (0% on retained earnings under the Estonian model for qualifying companies), personal income tax is a flat 20%, and there is no capital gains tax on the sale of property held for more than 2 years. Under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement, Georgian citizens enjoy short stay access to the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a prior visa. After 10 years of legal residence (or 5 years by special decree for exceptional contribution), residents may apply for Georgian citizenship.

Competitive Investment Threshold

Qualifying real estate investment of USD 300,000 or equivalent, with a streamlined application process and relatively fast processing compared to most EU residency by investment programs, making Georgia highly accessible for investors across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Tax Advantages

Georgia offers a flat 20% personal income tax rate, a 0% corporate tax on retained earnings for qualifying companies, no capital gains tax on property held over 2 years, and a 5% dividend withholding tax, making it one of the most tax competitive residency options in the Eurasian region.

EU Visa Free Travel

Under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement, Georgian citizens benefit from short stay access to the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a prior visa, providing significant European travel freedom for Georgian passport holders and long term residents.

Business Friendly Environment

Georgia consistently ranks highly in global ease of doing business indices, with a low regulatory burden, a simple and competitive tax system, a free trade agreement with the EU, and 100% foreign ownership permitted across most industries and commercial activities.
