Largely redundant given the 365-day visa-free stay for 90+ nationalities.

Special tax regime

Small Business Status

1% of turnover, 3% above cap

Turnover cap ~$180,000/yr. For a high earner this can matter more than the rent difference.

Small Business Status offers 1% tax on turnover up to 500,000 GEL/yr (~USD 180k) for registered individual entrepreneurs. Turnover above the cap is taxed at 3%. This is the single biggest tax arbitrage on this list for freelancers.

The honest note

365 days visa-free plus a 1% freelancer tax regime is the strongest combined visa+tax play available. Local banking is the caveat: since 2023 several banks have declined or slow-walked accounts for Russian, Belarusian, Iranian and some Central Asian nationals, and compliance checks on everyone else have tightened. Most nomads here run a multi-currency account and treat a local account as optional. Ignore the agencies charging $200–500 to "guarantee" one β€” we do not link to them and neither should you.
