- The 1% status depends on your activity
- Some activities cannot use the 1% regime, for example medical, legal, architectural and financial brokerage work. We check your activity code before we file.
- Banks look for real activity
- Georgian banks do not open accounts for shell companies. We prepare your contracts and client portfolio so the application matches the work you actually do.
- Residence permits start short
- A work residence permit is first granted for 6 to 12 months. Extending it requires consistent tax filings and about 50,000 GEL of annual turnover per applicant.
- What we will ask you for
- A passport for registration. For the permits: a police clearance certificate from your home country, proof of funds (at least 12,000 GEL for the labor permit) and a short business plan. We list exactly what your case needs before you start.
- How long it takes
- Registration and 1% status take a few days, and bank accounts about a week. Each permit follows government review times of roughly 30 days on the standard track. Fast-Track shortens these.
