Frequently asked questions
Who is personal and business banking most suitable for?
Individuals and companies preparing to open or use Georgian bank accounts.
What should be arranged before arrival?
Check lawful stay, work model, accommodation, connectivity, banking documents, insurance, family civil-status records and any time-sensitive residence or company step before fixing the move date.
Does moving to Georgia automatically make me tax resident?
No. Tax residence is determined under the Georgian Tax Code and any applicable treaty, not simply by renting a home or registering a business.
Can company and residence work be planned together?
Yes. The entity, employment or contracting model can affect work permission, tax, banking and residence evidence, so planning them together often avoids duplicated or inconsistent documents.
Can ITResidency.ge help with the relocation plan?
Yes. We can coordinate the legal and business parts of the move, including residence, work, company or IE setup, tax registration, family documents and related local services.
