THE PROBLEM SECTION
Section headline:
If you’ve been researching Georgia, you’ve probably noticed the problem.
The 1% tax is real. The visa-free year is real. The cost of living is real. But almost every guide you’ve found was written before March 2026 — before Georgia introduced a mandatory work permit, before the new health insurance rule, before the April amendment that changed who’s exempt and who isn’t.
Follow an outdated guide and you can do everything “right” and still end up with a 2,000 GEL fine.
The Georgia Freedom Starter Pack is current. It reflects the rules as they actually are in 2026 — verified against Georgian government sources, not recycled from a 2024 blog post.
WHAT’S INSIDE SECTION
Section headline:
What you get — 50 pages, no fluff, nothing held back
The 1% Tax & Individual Entrepreneur Blueprint Exactly how online business owners legally pay 1% on up to ~$180,000 in revenue — including the 2026 work permit step that almost every other guide is missing. The full setup process, the banking requirements, the ten mistakes that get people fined.
The Tbilisi 2026 Lifestyle & Cost of Living Planner What your life actually costs at three honest tiers — budget, comfortable, premium — by neighborhood, in real 2026 numbers. Plus which neighborhood actually fits who you are, not who Instagram says you should be.
The 30-Day Relocation Checklist Day by day, week by week, from the moment you land to the moment you have a working company, a bank account, an apartment, and the start of a real social life.
What Changed in 2026 — Read This First The new work permit, the health insurance requirement, the IT residence permit, and the April amendment — explained plainly, so you’re working from the rules as they are, not as they were.
WHO IT’S FOR SECTION
Section headline:
Who this is for
This is for online business owners, agency operators, coaches, consultants, SaaS founders, freelancers, traders, and retirees who are tired of bleeding 30–50% of what they earn to a system that doesn’t respect them — and who want a real second base, not another passport stamp.
It’s also for the people who want more than a tax address. People who want to actually build a life somewhere: real friends, real routines, a city that feels like home. If that’s you, this is the most honest starting point you’ll find.
CREDIBILITY SECTION
Section headline:
Why trust this one
Most Georgia content online is written by people who visited for three weeks, or by companies trying to sell you a $50,000 relocation package.
This guide is written by people who actually live in Tbilisi — a mix of foreigners who made the move and Georgians who grew up here. The regulatory information was verified against Georgian government sources in 2026. The cost-of-living numbers come from operators living each tier right now, not statistical averages.
We give it away for free because the people who read it and act on it will be fine on their own. The ones who want help building the life around the paperwork — the right people, the right rooms, the right introductions — know where to find us.
