Second Passport: Citizenship and Residency Programs
ABOUT GEORGIA
The country of Georgia, or as we say in Georgian, “Sakartvelo”, is known for its wine, cuisine, natural beauty, safety, hospitable people, and, most importantly, the favorable investment opportunities. Georgia is situated in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Georgia is an electric mix of cultures with a strong national identity, which creates the perfect environment for anything from vacation to expatriation. The Georgian language is one of the world’s fourteen unique languages, and Georgia was the first place in human history to produce wine. As we say here in Tbilisi, “Europe starts here”.
SAFETY
Georgia is a rapidly developing country with very low levels of crime and corruption. According to the Numbeo report (2025), Georgia is one of the safest country in the world.
Residence Permit of Georgia
Residence permit authorizes the right of a foreign citizen to enter and stay in Georgia or transit the territory of Georgia during the term of validity of residence permit. It also authorizes a holder to invite another foreigner to Georgia.

Temporary/Working residence permit is issued to persons coming to Georgia for entrepreneurial or labour activities;
Permanent (Investment) residence permit is issued to a foreign citizen who invested at least 300 000 US dollars in Georgia. this provision is prescribed in the Law of Georgia on Promotion and Guarantees of investment. in such cases, residence permits are also issued to the investor’s family members, which include a spouse, underage children and/or fully dependent incapacitated person;
Short-term residence permit is issued to the person – and his/her family members – who, according to the rule established by Georgian legislation have the right to immovable property (except for agricultural land), with the market price above 100 000 US dollars;

In either of these cases, the individual must demonstrate ownership of assets (e.g., real estate) in Georgia valued at no less than 500,000 USD.
