Permanent Residence Permit

The Permanent Residence Permit in Georgia is a prestigious status established under the Law of Georgia on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons. It is designed to provide long-term stability and integration for individuals who have formed deep, lasting ties to the country. By offering an indefinite right to reside, this status removes the administrative burden of annual renewals for those who meet strict qualification criteria, such as family reunification with a Georgian citizen or long-term residency. It serves as the primary mechanism for recognizing and formalizing the permanent presence of foreign nationals within the Georgian society.

This permit is intended for specific categories of applicants, most notably the spouses and minor children of Georgian citizens, as well as long-term residents who have held temporary permits for a decade or significant investors. It is distinct because it grants a near-citizen level of stability, allowing the holder to live and work in Georgia indefinitely without the need for periodic permit extensions. The ideal applicant is someone who has established a permanent life in Georgia, often through marriage or family ties, seeking to solidify their legal status and secure their future in the country.
