Apply for Remotely from Georgia Program

Georgia's "Remotely from Georgia" application launched on August 27, 2020. Freelancers, business owners or full-time employees from 95 countries, who are able to stay at least 180 days, are invited to apply. They must be able to prove that they are able to pay taxes and have a monthly income of at least $2,000.

If your application is approved and you go to Georgia, you will be required to quarantine for 12 days in a hotel (at your own expense). After quarantine, the applicant will undergo PCR Testing (Polymerise Chain Reaction test, which is a COVID-19 diagnostic test - not an antibody test) and if no signs on coronavirus are apparent, the applicant may stay in Georgia.

It's important to note that applicants must have health insurance coverage while in Georgia. "a foreigner must have health insurance for the period of time that he/she is going to spend in Georgia," stated the government publication on Agenda.ge. In terms of the quality of medical care in Georgia, the US State Department wrote, "Outside major cities, medical facilities in Georgia are limited. The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of English-speaking doctors. Elderly travelers and those with existing health problems may be at risk due to inadequate medical facilities. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly to reduce the risk of food-borne illness."
