No visa needed for most passports for a full year, plus one of the lowest tax-residency barriers to entry anywhere, a favorite among long-term nomads.

Georgia in short
We cover 2 cities in Georgia. A mid-range solo month runs from about $900 in Tbilisi to about $1,300 in Batumi (our planning estimates, method). The visa tracker has 1 record for Georgia, read on official pages and last checked 29 Sept 2026.
Audit 2026-09-29: the tourism administration text describes 'Remotely from Georgia' in the past tense (pandemic-era) and the SDA page lists no nomad permit. What exists is the visa-free one-year stay for citizens of 98 countries and a 20% / 1% tax split. Not a nomad permit, so listed as no scheme
Income rule
Not a nomad permit (see the tracker note)
Stay
Visa-free stay of one full year for eligible nationals (georgia.travel visa page); this is the entry regime, not a nomad permit
Government fee
No fee stated on pages read
Tax
Tourism administration states employees are taxed at 20% and self-employed/individual entrepreneurs at 1% of taxes (page wording; no Revenue Service source read)
Sorted from cheapest. Monthly cost is a mid-range solo scenario in US dollars; housing is the accommodation line of the same scenario. Wifi and safety are planning figures, not measurements.
How this page is built: visa rows are read from the audited tracker, which links each figure to an official page and dates the check; city figures are editorial planning estimates (method). Rules change, so confirm with the authority before you apply. Researched from official immigration pages and the site's cost dataset.
