VISA- FREE

TRAVEL TO

SCHENGEN ZONE

COUNTRIES

Since 2017, Georgian citizens can travel to the Schengen zone (European countries) visa-free for 90 days. As of October 17, 2020, Georgian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 116 countries and territories, ranking the Georgian passport 48th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.

ASSOCIATION

AGREEMENT WITH

EU

Georgians are not yet eligible to live and work in the EU- this may be possible in the future if and when Georgia applies for full EU membership. Georgia would be eligible for full EU membership since the Association Agreement it signed with the EU establishes that it is geographically included in the Euro zone.

TREATY OF

COMMERCE AND

NAVIGATION WITH

THE UNITED STATES

Georgia has a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the United States, which allows Georgians to apply for the E non- immigrant visa. The E visa requires a small investment of approximately $100,000 that allows the investor and family to relocate the US to operate that business. The spouse is permitted to obtain a full work permit and children can attend public school at no charge through the end of high school. Only countries with these eligible treaties qualify for the E visa.

TREATY OF

COMMERCE AND

NAVIGATION WITH

THE UNITED STATES

The following citizens from these countries are not eligible for the E-2 visa: China, India, Vietnam, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Uruguay, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, Kenya, Gabon, Nigeria, Dem Rep of Congo, Angola, S.Africa, Zimbabwe, Libya, Niger, Chad, Algeria & Sierra Leone Any citizen from the above-listed countries would, once having acquired Georgian citizenship, qualify for the E-2 visa of the Unites States.

TAX IN GEORGIA

Georgia taxes its citizens only on

income generated in Georgia. The

tax rate is a flat 20% of net income,

which makes it very competitive for

those who are considering setting

up a business or relocating a

business in Georgia.

T H E P R O C E S S

THE PROCESS

• CitizenGE.org has the authority to assist interested persons (via his/her authorized

Agent/Representative) who makes an investment of a minimum of US$135,000 (single

applicant) plus US$7500 per eligible dependent (lawful spouse and children up to the

age of eighteen (18) years).

• The investment has been defined as "substantial" and will be utilized to fund specific

projects that are considered to be beneficial and a substantial contribution to the state

economy.

• Each adult applicant will undergo a stringent background clearance review as part of the

application process, including the source of their funds.

• Certain applicants, to be identified at the sole discretion of CitizenGE.org, may be

required to undergo "enhanced due diligence", including related to prior employment,

public governmental service, and/or source and origin of funds, prior to the application

advancing to final review.

THE PROCESS

• It is expected that the citizenship processing time will not exceed 120 days, including the

issuance of the approved citizenship and passport.

• Funds are held in escrow while the citizenship application is pending. Each applicant will

be required, at the start of the process, to transmit by wire transfer the investment

amount (plus processing & other fees) to the Escrow account pursuant to an executed

escrow agreement. The investment funds are to be held in escrow until such time as

Georgian citizenship has been approved in written form.

• Each applicant will be required to obtain and submit/upload the following documents:

photograph (passport style), unexpired passport (all pages), birth certificate, marriage

certificate, prior divorce(s); record of adoption if applicable.

• The main applicant will undergo a strict background clearance & must substantiate the

legality of the investment funds.

THE PROCESS

• All investment funds are held in an escrow account pending the approval of the

citizenship application. If denied, those funds are returned to the Applicant. The other

fees paid are also refunded minus $1500 and the service fees paid.

• All documents must have translators certification and apostille. The original language

document must be uploaded with the translation into the Georgian language and with the

Apostle attached per uploaded document (do not separate the original language

document from the translation, translators certification, and apostille). In some cases,

additional documentation will be requested.

• Single Applicant

• US$135,000 investment plus costs

• Married (2 applicants)

• US$135,000 plus $7500, plus costs

• For each additional dependent, add $7500 plus costs.
