Georgia tightens consequences for overstays and prolonged absence by residence-permit holders

According to the source, extended absence from Georgia can now jeopardize a valid residence permit even when the document itself has not expired. Residence-permit holders therefore need to track not only the permit’s expiration date but also the number of days spent in the country. The rule is particularly important for remote workers, investors and other permit holders who spend substantial periods abroad. It should be considered when planning relocation and long trips outside Georgia.
