Retiring in Georgia: the visa situation
As of our last check, Georgia does not offer a dedicated retirement or passive-income visa. Retirees who settle there typically use other residence routes, so plan on more paperwork than in countries with a purpose-built visa.
Long stays are trivially easy thanks to the 1-year visa-free rule. For longer or permanent residence, retirees use a residence permit; a property-based short-term residence permit is available above a property value threshold.
