Immigration & Citizenship
Identify the Georgian citizenship restoration route, organise former-status and termination records, and prepare an application or review a response within an agreed scope.
First distinguish restoration under Article 18, temporary restoration under Article 32², retention and other naturalisation routes. Article 32² lets specified former citizens who lost Georgian citizenship through acquiring foreign citizenship apply to the Agency before 1 January 2027, excluding that date. This is not the deadline for every citizenship route. Eligibility and outcome require individual assessment.
The right route starts by assessing current law, facts, documents and deadlines together. This page provides a practical framework; an individual strategy is formed only after a confidential case assessment.
Procedure
Identify the requested work: route assessment, application preparation or response review
Inventory former-citizenship and termination records; flag unknown dates and missing records for later agreed review
Check the applicable route, test or exception and, for Article 32², the requirement to apply before 1 January 2027
Confirm the filing channel, translation, certification, representation and any personal-appearance requirement before applying
Keep the filing acknowledgement, review the response and next deadline, and agree any follow-up work separately

Risks
Typical scenario
A client approaches with documents, conflicting information or a close deadline. We first identify the legal position, downside risk and priority action, then create an evidence and procedure plan. This illustration is not a past result or a promise of outcome.
FAQ
Answers are general and do not replace individual legal advice.
No. First establish whether citizenship ended and which legal route fits the records. Article 18 restoration, the Article 32² temporary route and retention are not interchangeable.
Briefly state the help needed, application stage, known deadline and categories of available or pending records. Do not include document numbers or copies; a document-review channel will be agreed later.
The Agency identifies the relevant Georgian diplomatic mission or consular office as a channel for applicants abroad. Check the channel and requirements for the particular route first. This does not mean a test, signature, originals or every step can be completed remotely.
