LEGAL EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDENCY IN GEORGIA
Georgia Work Visa Overview
The Georgia Work Visa allows foreign nationals to legally work and reside in Georgia under Georgian immigration and labor laws. This visa is intended for individuals who have secured employment with a Georgian employer or who are engaged in lawful professional or business activities in the country.
Work-related residency is regulated by Georgian immigration law and administered by the Public Service Development Agency (PSDA).
Legal Framework for Employment in Georgia
Georgia maintains a flexible and business-friendly labor market. Unlike many countries, Georgia does not require a traditional work permit system for all professions; however, foreign nationals must still obtain legal residence status to work and stay lawfully.
Key legal principles include:
- Employment must be lawful and documented
- Residency registration is mandatory for long-term stays
- Employers and employees must comply with tax regulations
- Immigration authorities retain discretion over residence approval
General Eligibility Requirements
Applicants for a Georgia Work Visa or work-based residence are generally expected to demonstrate:
- A valid job offer, employment contract, or professional activity in Georgia
- Proof of sufficient income or salary
- Valid passport and travel documents
- Proof of accommodation or address in Georgia
- No serious criminal or immigration violations
Meeting these requirements does not guarantee approval, as each application is reviewed individually by Georgian authorities.
Residency and Work Conditions
Foreign workers are typically granted a temporary residence permit, renewable as long as employment or professional activity continues.
Country-specific conditions include:
- Mandatory address registration in Georgia
- Ongoing employment or lawful work activity
- Compliance with Georgian tax and labor laws
- Timely renewal of residence permits
Working or residing without valid legal status may result in fines, deportation, or future entry restrictions.
Tax and Compliance Obligations
Foreign nationals working in Georgia may be subject to:
- Personal income tax obligations
- Employer or self-employment registration requirements
- Compliance with Georgian financial and reporting rules
Proper legal and tax compliance is essential to maintain lawful residence and work status.
