As verified from the official source on 17 July 2026, investment residence is linked to a qualifying investment in Georgia, or relevant property, exceeding the GEL equivalent of USD 300,000. Plan the transaction through a combined immigration, property, corporate and AML review.
Current threshold and two possible bases
The official page verified 17 July 2026 states a qualifying investment or property exceeding the GEL equivalent of USD 300,000. Spending the amount is not enough: the asset, valuation and applicant’s legal connection must meet the route’s requirements. Do not confuse investment residence with the short-term property route using property above USD 150,000.
Structuring the investment
A share acquisition, capital contribution, creation of a business asset and purchase of property leave different legal trails. Agreements should define use of funds, ownership, control, exit terms and dispute resolution. An artificial transaction constructed only for residence creates serious risk.
Valuation and title
For a property-based application, an independent valuation does not replace title due diligence. Alongside the registry extract, review mortgages, seizures, easements, cadastral boundaries, construction status and the seller’s authority. The valuation date and method must fit the application requirements.
Source of funds and family members
Banking and transaction records should demonstrate lawful source and movement of funds. A bank’s KYC decision is independent from the residence decision. Family inclusion depends on the applicable rules and relationship records; resolve name and date inconsistencies early.
Official service and maintaining status
On 17 July 2026 the agency page listed investment-permit service at GEL 300 for 30 calendar days, GEL 450 for 20 days and GEL 600 for 10 days. These are government service fees, not legal fees, and must be rechecked before filing. After approval, monitor continuing investment and other qualifying conditions.
