What documents do I need for a work residence permit in Georgia?
Practical guidance for international readers · Georgia
The standard employment route requires evidence of lawful stay, employment, sufficient income and the employer's qualifying turnover, alongside identity documents, an application, a photo and payment.
What this means in practice
Use the agency's work-permit checklist rather than a checklist for self-employment or family reunion. The general turnover requirement is GEL 50,000 per applicant, with a separate GEL 35,000 threshold for educational and medical institutions. Income and business turnover are separate tests. Also check the labour-migration registration and right-to-work requirements before filing.
Ask the employer for a Revenue Service certificate showing turnover for the relevant period and a separate certificate about its foreign employees. The published threshold is GEL 50,000 per foreign applicant, or GEL 35,000 for educational and medical institutions. If the employer is not VAT registered, the agency asks for certificates covering 12 consecutive months. The worker’s income evidence and employer’s turnover evidence are separate requirements.
