Georgia: one of the most accessible bases for the location-independent
Georgia sits in the South Caucasus, between the Black Sea and high mountains, with Tbilisi as a lively, affordable capital. For entrepreneurs and digital nomads it's interesting for practical reasons above all: open doors, easy banking and low taxes.
What makes Georgia interesting
-
Liberal visa policy
Up to 365 days visa-free for many nationalities, with the right to live and work on the spot. You don't have to be just a tourist, remote work for foreign clients is explicitly fine.
-
Simple, modern banking
Comparatively easy access to local accounts at TBC and Bank of Georgia, with multi-currency and solid online banking.
-
Low taxes
Territorial system, 1% for qualifying sole traders, 15% corporate tax due only on distribution.
-
Company formation in a day
An LLC or a sole trader registration without a local partner, fast and cheap.
-
Low cost of living
Tbilisi offers a lot of quality of life at a fraction of Western European costs.
-
A solid flag in your setup
A residence anchor, a bank account and broker access are comparatively easy to set up here.
New in 2026
The Small Business Status is now active from the day you apply (previously only from the following month), with mandatory monthly returns. And from March 2026 many working foreigners need a new Special Labour Permit, though purely remote work for foreign clients is exempt. The detailed rules are still being finalized.
