Explore CoursesWhy Georgia Works for Digital Nomads
From visas to Wi-Fi to weekend mountains — the practical reasons remote workers keep choosing Georgia.

Citizens of 90+ countries can live in Georgia for up to 365 days without a visa — one of the most generous stays anywhere, with no complicated paperwork to arrive.
Low Cost of Living
Rent, food and services cost a fraction of Western Europe or North America, so a remote salary stretches much further here.
Simple 1% Tax Option
Freelancers can register as an Individual Entrepreneur with Small Business Status and pay just 1% on turnover up to the annual limit — one of the lowest rates around.
Fast, Cheap Internet
Reliable fiber in the cities and widespread 4G/5G mean smooth video calls, plus affordable local SIMs with generous data.

Tbilisi and Batumi are packed with laptop-friendly cafés and coworking spaces where finding a desk and good coffee is easy.

Digital Nomad FAQ
The questions remote workers ask us most about basing themselves in Georgia.
Do I need a visa to work remotely from Georgia?
Citizens of more than 90 countries can enter and stay for up to 365 days visa-free. You can work online for clients or an employer abroad during that time. For local employment or longer stays, check the current rules with Georgian authorities.
How good is the internet?
Cities like Tbilisi and Batumi have reliable fiber broadband and strong 4G/5G coverage that easily handle video calls and large uploads. Local SIM cards with plenty of data are cheap and quick to set up on arrival.
Is it true you can pay only 1% tax?
Freelancers and solo business owners can register as an Individual Entrepreneur and apply for Small Business Status, which taxes turnover at 1% up to an annual limit. Rules and limits change, so confirm your situation with a local accountant before relying on it.
Which city is best for nomads — Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi?
Tbilisi is the hub, with the most coworking spaces, cafés and community. Batumi suits those who want the Black Sea coast and a more relaxed pace, while Kutaisi is smaller and cheaper with a growing scene and a budget-airline airport.
How much do I need per month?
Many nomads live comfortably on $1,000–$1,800 a month in Tbilisi, including a central apartment, coworking, and eating out regularly. You can go lower on a tighter budget or in smaller cities.
Is Georgia safe for foreigners?
Yes — Georgia consistently ranks among the safest countries in the region, with low crime and famously warm hospitality. As anywhere, use normal common sense in nightlife areas and with valuables.
