How can you get residency in Georgia?
In order to obtain the right of residence in Georgia, you must meet one of the following conditions:
• You must have purchased at least $100,000 value of the real estate.
• You must have come to study in Georgia.
• You must have your own company.
• You must work in a company where your annual turnover at least will be 50,000 GEL.

If you meet one of these conditions, you should apply to the House of Justice of Georgia and submit the following documentations:
• Translation of your passport.
• Translation of the document on the basis of which you are requesting residence.
• Notice from the bank that there is a certain amount of money in your account.
This is a list of basic documents, however, you will also need specific documents depending on the basis on which you are applying for residence.
Professional lawyers will help you in collecting and legally preparing the mentioned documents.
After that, you'll choose how long you want to receive a response, within 10 days, 20 days, or 30 days. In case of a positive answer, you should go to the House of Justice again and order an ID card.
As a result of these processes, you will receive a temporary residence, which in most cases lasts for 1 year.
