Georgia plans to create a unified register of foreign nationals to strengthen oversight of their stay and combat irregular migration. The initiative follows tighter rules for residence permits, permanent residence and work authorisations introduced in 2026.
According to the source, the unified register is intended to provide systematic oversight of whether foreign nationals are staying lawfully. Over time, this points to more formal status tracking and greater importance for documents proving a person’s legal basis for remaining in the country. The development is most relevant to residents, workers and other foreigners using Georgia as a long-term base rather than for a short visit. People planning a move should take note of the broader shift toward tighter migration oversight and keep their status documentation organised.
