Georgia.
Few markets are this open to foreigners: full freehold ownership of homes, a flat low-tax regime, and a renewable residence permit from a single qualifying purchase. With the economy up 7.5% in 2025 and tourism at a record high, capital keeps flowing into Tbilisi and the Black Sea coast — even after the residency threshold rose to USD 150,000 in March 2026.
Why buyers look to Georgia.
- 01
Freehold for foreigners, with one caveat
Foreign nationals buy residential and commercial property freehold — no permit, no nationality restriction. The one off-limits asset is agricultural land, which foreigners cannot own outright but can lease for up to 49 years.
- 02
A residence permit from your purchase
Buying qualifying non-agricultural property secures a renewable residence permit covering spouse and children. The minimum valuation rose to USD 150,000 in March 2026 (from USD 100,000), with a USD 300,000 route to a five-year permit.
- 03
One of the lowest tax burdens in the region
Residential rental income is taxed at a flat 5%, capital gains are exempt after a two-year hold, annual property tax is typically under 1%, and Georgia taxes on a territorial basis — so most foreign-source income falls outside the net.
- 04
Real momentum behind prices
GDP grew 7.5% in 2025, combined Tbilisi and Batumi apartment sales topped USD 4.3 billion, and home prices rose about 11.5% year-on-year, supporting both appreciation and rental demand.
- 05
Yield plus an easy lifestyle
Gross rental yields run near 7.5% in Tbilisi and on the Batumi coast, set against a low cost of living, a record 5.5 million visitors, and a footprint spanning Black Sea beaches, wine country and the High Caucasus.
