Tbilisi Cost of Living: Overview
What it costs to live and work remotely from Tbilisi, broken down by category.
Tbilisi remains one of the lower-cost options for nomads wanting a European-adjacent base, with visa-free entry of up to 365 days for citizens of 95+ countries. One real, recent change worth knowing directly: as of March 2026, actually working remotely while in Georgia on that visa-free status now requires a formal work permit — see the full Georgia visa guide for what changed and why.
- 1BR apartment, city center — $400-750/month, with the range depending heavily on exact neighborhood (Vera and Vake run toward the higher end, still genuinely affordable by regional comparison) — rents here have climbed 20-30% since 2023
- Coworking, monthly — $80-150/month at established spaces (Impact Hub, Terminal), with smaller casual spots running cheaper
- Eating out, per meal — $8-12 for a full traditional Georgian meal (khinkali, khachapuri, wine) at a local restaurant; a cheap meal alone runs closer to $7
