Market Overview

Georgia's economy shows strong momentum with GDP growth in the 7-10% range in recent years, driven by tourism, foreign direct investment, and government pro-business policies. The country was granted EU candidate status in December 2023, though progress toward accession has been mixed. The real estate market benefits from increasing foreign buyer interest, growing tourism, and a large digital nomad community attracted by the 1-year visa-free policy and low cost of living. Key risks include currency volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.

Restrictions

Unrestricted Foreign Ownership

Open

Georgia has one of the most foreign-friendly property ownership regimes in the world. Foreigners have full and equal rights to purchase, own, and sell apartments, houses, and commercial property with no restrictions whatsoever. No government approval, no residency requirement, no special permits, and no reciprocity conditions. The only exception is agricultural land, which foreigners cannot own (but can lease).

  • Full foreign ownership rights -- no restrictions on apartments, houses, or commercial property
  • Equal treatment with Georgian citizens -- no additional approvals or permits
  • No limit on number of properties a foreigner can own
  • Agricultural land is the sole exception -- foreigners cannot own it but can lease it long-term
  • No residency or visa requirement to purchase property
  • No minimum investment threshold for property purchase
