A profile-specific residence service from evidence review to card
IT employees, qualifying Georgian individual entrepreneurs, eligible International Company managers or representatives, and families who want a professionally prepared Georgian residence case.
- profile and eligibility assessment
- experience, income and payment evidence
- work-right and residence sequencing
- application and authority follow-up
- residence card, family and renewal
What this service covers
We assess the correct IT Residence Permit profile, identify evidence gaps and manage the agreed application work—from documents and translations to filing, authority follow-up and the residence card. The professional service fee is GEL 1,480; government charges and third-party costs are separate.
The IT Residence Permit is not a tax status and does not make every founder, contractor or company owner eligible. We first identify the statutory profile and only then build the relevant file.
We first confirm which IT Residence Permit route applies
The dedicated permit covers qualifying IT employees, Georgian individual entrepreneurs who meet the specific IT and Small Business conditions, certain authorised International Company managers or representatives, and qualifying family members. These profiles do not all use the same evidence.
- Employee: occupation, professional history, income and work-right evidence
- Individual Entrepreneur: accepted IT activity, Small Business Status, work history, income and work-right evidence
- International Company management: company status and current management or representation authority
- Family: qualifying relationship and the principal holder’s permit
From early evidence review to the residence card
We agree whether the engagement is an eligibility assessment, document review or complete application service. A full scope can cover the work-right sequence, evidence schedules, translations, filing, additional-document responses and post-decision card steps.
- Profile, occupation or economic-activity classification
- Two-year experience and preceding-year income review where applicable
- Receipt chronology linked to contracts, invoices or payroll
- Apostille, legalisation and certified Georgian translation planning
- Application preparation, submission coordination and authority follow-up
- Family filing, change-of-basis and renewal planning
We explain what the permit does—and what remains separate
The IT Residence Permit is an immigration status. Tax residence, Small Business treatment, company tax status, a bank account and the right of an accompanying spouse to work are separate questions.
- Government processing starts after a complete application is submitted
- Translations and legalisation can add preparation time
- A change of employer, role or business activity should be reviewed before it starts
- The initial permit and later renewal remain subject to the applicable continuity conditions
IT Residence Permit assistance: GEL 1,480
A fixed professional fee for the IT Residence Permit assistance described on this page. We confirm the applicant profile and exact scope before the engagement begins.
Government charges and third-party costs are separate. The written proposal confirms whether the agreed scope includes the right-to-work procedure, residence-card step, translations, apostille or legalisation, family applications or other related services.
IT Residence Permit or ordinary Work Residence Permit?
These are different residence routes. A right-to-work decision is a separate stage and may be required before either residence application.
Government service terms and subsistence benchmarks can change. We confirm the amounts and the lawful-stay timetable again before filing.

How this may look in a real case
Before an employed developer files, we reconcile the role description, two-year professional history, last-year income schedule, separated receipts and current work-right evidence, then select a government service term that fits the lawful-stay calendar.
What can slow the process down
We check these points at the beginning and flag gaps before filing, so you can correct them while there is still time.
- The wrong applicant profile is used, so the file answers an evidence test that does not apply.
- A job title is treated as proof of qualifying IT work without detailed duties or activity evidence.
- Income and bank records are supplied without connecting the receipts to contracts, invoices or payroll.
- The right-to-work step, lawful-stay calendar or family dependency is reviewed only after the residence file is ready.
- Foreign documents are translated before apostille, legalisation or relevance is checked.

Frequently asked questions
How much does IT Residence Permit assistance cost?
The professional service fee for the assistance described on this page is GEL 1,480. Government charges and third-party costs are separate. The written proposal confirms whether the agreed scope includes the right-to-work procedure, residence-card step, translations, apostille or legalisation, family applications or other related work.
Can ITResidency.ge first check whether I qualify for the IT Residence Permit?
Yes. We can begin with a focused eligibility review covering the correct applicant profile, actual IT work, professional history, income and receipt evidence, Georgian registrations, work-right position, lawful stay and family plans.
Does the service cover employees, contractors and founders?
It can, but their routes differ. A qualifying employee uses the accepted occupation and employer evidence. A contractor may need the Georgian IE and Small Business route. Company ownership alone is not a permit profile, although an authorised manager or representative of an International Company operating in IT may have a separate route.
What documents should I send for the first review?
Start with your passport, current location and lawful-stay dates, a plain-language description of your work, current contract, two-year professional evidence already held, last-year income and payment information and any Georgian IE, company, tax or work-right records. We issue the final checklist after confirming the profile.
Do I need apostilles and Georgian translations before contacting you?
No. Send readable copies first. We identify which foreign documents need apostille or legalisation and certified Georgian translation after checking the route, so you do not spend money on irrelevant records.
Does ITResidency.ge submit the residence application for me?
The agreed full-application scope can include forms, evidence schedules, supporting explanations, translation coordination, submission assistance, authority follow-up and residence-card steps. Any personal appearance or action that cannot legally be delegated is identified in advance.
How long does the IT Residence Permit application take?
The published government decision services are 90 calendar days for GEL 500 and 60 calendar days for GEL 750. Evidence review, the right-to-work step, translations and any additional-document request are separate from that government period.
Can you also prepare applications for my spouse and children?
Yes. We can check which family members qualify, review civil-status records before legalisation, coordinate translations and plan the linked applications. The family route normally depends on the principal IT permit being issued first.
Are government and translation costs included in the professional fee?
The quotation states the professional scope. Government charges, translations, apostille or legalisation and other third-party costs are shown separately where they can be identified.
