Georgia Visa-free / long-stay entry (dedicated nomad program status uncertain): Application Process

Step by step through the Georgia Visa-free / long-stay entry (dedicated nomad program status uncertain) application, from first document to approval.

Verified Aug 2026 · Georgia's March 2026 Labour Migration Law amendments and current Small Business Status tax rules

For most nationalities, no formal application is needed for the visa-free stay window — you simply enter with a valid passport.
If you intend to stay longer than the visa-free window allows, or need the new work permit to work legally while present, this requires a formal application through Georgian immigration — not a simple extension of the visa-free stay.
Given how recent the March 2026 work-permit requirement is, enforcement practices are still developing — this is genuinely one of the countries on this site where checking directly with an immigration source before finalizing plans matters more than usual, since the practical reality may still be settling even though the legal requirement itself is confirmed.
