That covers most remote-worker situations without needing any special program. The Remotely from Georgia program was launched in 2020 for those needing formal status, but for visa-exempt nationalities the standard 365-day rule is simpler."},{"question":"Is the Remotely from Georgia program still active in 2026?","answer":"Yes, it still exists but is rarely used. Most digital nomads from visa-exempt countries skip it because the 365-day visa-free rule already grants what the program was designed to offer. The program is mainly relevant if your passport requires a visa to enter Georgia in the first place — otherwise the visa-free path is simpler."},{"question":"How long can foreigners legally stay in Georgia?","answer":"Up to 365 days per visit for citizens of approximately 95 visa-free countries. After 365 days you need to leave (a border run to Armenia, Turkey, or Azerbaijan resets the clock), or apply for a residence permit. There is no requirement to leave and return at 90 or 180 days — it is a true full-year stay on entry."},{"question":"Do remote workers owe Georgian tax?","answer":"You become Georgian tax-resident after 183 days in a calendar year. Tax-resident remote workers can apply for Individual Entrepreneur Small Business status (1 percent turnover tax up to GEL 500,000 per year — extremely nomad-friendly). Without registering, you risk being treated as taxable on worldwide income. Most long-stay nomads register as IE to lock in the 1 percent rate."},{"question":"Is it safe to work remotely from Tbilisi?","answer":"Tbilisi is generally safe for digital nomads. Petty crime exists in tourist areas (Old Town, Avlabari) but violent crime against foreigners is rare. Solo female travel is comfortable in central neighborhoods. The main practical risks are around protests and political events (occasional — avoid the parliament area on flashpoint days), and winter air quality which spikes in older neighborhoods that still burn wood or coal."},{"question":"What is the internet like in Tbilisi for remote workers?","answer":"Fiber connections are widely available in central Tbilisi at 100 to 500 Mbps for around USD 25 to 35 per month. Magti and Silknet are the two main providers. Coworking spaces (Impact Hub Tbilisi, Terminal, Lokal) have business-grade connections with backups. Mobile data is cheap and fast (Beeline, Geocell). Overall: better than Bali, comparable to Chiang Mai."}],"lastUpdated":"April 2026"}
