Residency

Common Georgian residency routes:

  • Work residence - employer-sponsored or via your own Georgian LLC
  • Investment residence - real estate, capital, or business investment thresholds
  • Study residence - enrolment at a Georgian institution
  • Family reunification - spouse, children, dependant parents
  • Permanent residence - typically after 6 years of continuous lawful stay

Many nationalities can stay visa-free for 365 days, which is often used to plan the right route without time pressure.

Türkiye residency routes:

  • Short-term residence permit (1-2 years, renewable)
  • Family permit
  • Work permit - employer-sponsored
  • Student permit
  • Citizenship-by-investment via real estate or qualifying deposits / investments

Argentine residency routes:

  • Rentista visa - passive income / pension
  • Investor visa - qualifying investment in an Argentine business
  • Worker visa - employer-sponsored
  • Family routes - spouse, children, parents
  • MERCOSUR fast-track for nationals of member states
Company setup

Standard Georgian entities and tax treatment:

  • LLC (Shps) - the default structure; fast online formation
  • Individual Entrepreneur (IE) - simple setup; Small Business Status offers 1% turnover tax up to ~500k GEL/year for qualifying activities
  • Virtual Zone - 0% corporate income tax on qualifying IT-export profits (subject to substance and qualifying-activity tests)
  • International Company Status - reduced 5% CIT for qualifying IT and maritime companies with real operations

Bordercase coordinates structure choice to match real activity and avoid substance traps.

Limited Şirket (LLC) and AŞ (Joint Stock) are common structures. Notary registration, tax registration, and a tax representative are typically required.

SA (Sociedad Anónima) and SRL (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada) are the standard structures. CUIT, IGJ registration, and AFIP tax registration follow.

Banking

Personal and corporate banking is broadly accessible to residents and non-residents through TBC, Bank of Georgia, and others - typically with USD, EUR, and GEL accounts. Compliance has tightened materially since 2023; clear source-of-funds, business narrative, and tax residency clarity matter. Bordercase coordinates introductions where useful.

Personal banking for residents is broadly accessible; non-resident corporate banking has tightened. Source-of-funds and ownership clarity are central.

Residency unlocks personal banking. Forex controls and currency volatility are part of the landscape; multi-jurisdiction structuring is common.

Family

Family reunification is supported across most residency routes. English-language international schools are available in Tbilisi and Batumi. Healthcare is a mix of public and private; expat-grade private cover is recommended.

Family reunification is supported on most routes. International schools (English, German, French, Italian) are available in Istanbul and Ankara.

Family reunification is supported on most routes. Schools (public, private, English, German, French) are widely available in Buenos Aires.

Risks

Risks Bordercase watches for in Georgia:

  • Tax residency triggers - 183 days makes you tax-resident even without a permit
  • Virtual Zone / IE status misuse - real activity must match the qualifying category, audits do happen
  • Banking compliance - certain nationalities, sectors, and source-of-funds patterns face additional scrutiny
  • Russia/Ukraine-related restrictions - operational and reputational considerations for some cases
  • Permit timing - applying from inside Georgia vs at a consulate has different rules and risks

  • Restricted residency zones (some districts no longer issue short-term residency to foreigners)
  • Currency volatility on investment routes
  • Shifting policy on the citizenship-by-investment programme
  • Banking documentation requirements tighten regularly

  • Currency / forex controls
  • Tax residency triggers
