Status note
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)
