Georgia Introduces New Rules for Foreigners’ Short-Term Professional Activity

Published: 13.08.2026

Short-term professional activity by a foreign national is limited to four months per calendar year and is permitted only during lawful stay in Georgia. Employers and service organisers face electronic registration, quota, and turnover-related requirements.

According to the source, short-term professional work is now tied both to a registered activity period and to lawful status in Georgia, such as a visa, visa-free stay, or residence permit. In practice, foreigners and self-employed professionals will need to align their documents and work dates in advance, while employers must account for registration and quotas. The rule primarily affects foreign workers, freelancers, and digital professionals carrying out activities in Georgia. Anyone planning to earn income in the country without permanent status should review these requirements before starting work.
