The visa at a glance
Figures move. Before booking flights, check the current numbers at Georgia's consular portal.
Who it actually suits
Anyone allergic to paperwork. The trade-off is that after 183 days you become a Georgian tax resident, which is either a problem or the entire point (the 1% Individual Entrepreneur regime).
The money part nobody plans
Every nomad-visa checklist covers income proof and insurance, then goes silent on the annoying part: actually living off foreign money in Georgia. Your home card gets flagged, foreign-transaction fees stack, and opening a local bank account on a temporary visa ranges from tedious to impossible.
The setup that survives borders: get paid in USDT to a wallet you control, then spend it directly, by Visa card where cards work and by QR where they rule. Fizen does both from one self-custody balance, with no local bank required and no bank to freeze your card for the crime of buying groceries abroad. Backed by an investment from Tether.
Internet, before you commit
Verify real speeds in your exact neighbourhood, not the national average, before signing a lease. For the landing week, an eSIM sorted before the flight means you exit arrivals already online: see our eSIM guide for what actually works.
