According to the Immigration Law passed on May 30, 2019, by investing $ 300,000 in real estate or entrepreneurship in business, you can receive permanent residence in Georgia. Due to the lifelong permanent residence and the possibility of using all the facilities of life and work as citizens of Georgia, it is recommended that if you have investment conditions over 300 thousand US dollars, choose this method to obtain permanent residence in Georgia.
If a foreign national buy property in Georgia (other than agricultural land) worth $ 300,000, he or she will first be granted a five-year residence permit, and doesn't matter if he or she does not sell his or her property during those five years, or if he or she sells the property immediately. To replace it with the same value of property or more, after five years his residence will become permanent residence. Under Georgian law, the total value of the property purchased must be at least $ 300,000, so it doesn't matter if you bought one or more properties to reach that amount. For example, to reach this amount, you can buy a property worth $ 300,000 or three properties worth $ 100,000.
After selecting the right property or properties to buy, the document transfer work must be done in the public service office. After the registration of the document, it is the turn of the government to approve the property by the official appraiser. The important point here is that the criterion of the Immigration Office for the value of real estate is done by the official appraiser approved by the government.It usually takes 24 hours to prepare the assessment, after which it is time to go to the public services office with full documents and a lawyer. After submitting the documents and paying the government fees, which are in two forms of 20 days by paying 300GEL or 30 days by paying 180 GEL, we have to wait for the response of the residence. After receiving a positive answer, you must return to the Public Services Department with your lawyer and apply for a residence card. The residence card must be prepared within 10 working days.
