Yes. A buyer of any nationality can own an apartment or building outright on a 100% freehold basis, in their own name and on the same legal footing as a Georgian citizen, with the right to live in it, rent it, sell it and pass it on. No residency, citizenship, local company or local bank account is required to purchase, and title is registered with the National Agency of Public Registry — typically within one to two business days. The only restriction is agricultural land, which foreign individuals cannot own directly; city and resort apartments are unaffected.

Yes — a qualifying real-estate purchase opens a renewable Georgian residence permit. Since 1 March 2026 the minimum investment is USD 150,000 in non-agricultural property (raised from the longstanding USD 100,000 threshold), assessed on an accredited valuation. It grants a renewable temporary residence permit, with a spouse and minor children able to qualify under the same investment, and is tied to continued ownership. A larger route (from around USD 300,000) leads to a longer permit and a faster path to permanent residence. This is a residence permit, not citizenship — Palmera guides you through the application and documentation, and you should confirm the current rules and your property’s valuation before relying on a specific outcome.

Georgia is a light-tax jurisdiction for property owners. Residential rental income earned by an individual is taxed at a flat 5% with no deductions (20% if the property is let to a company). Capital gains are exempt after two years of ownership, and taxed at 5% on the gain if sold sooner. There is no annual property tax for owners whose household income falls below the statutory threshold; above it, municipalities levy a small annual charge of roughly 0.05–1% of value. Always confirm reporting rules in your own country of tax residence with your accountant; Palmera issues full transaction records to support any filing.

Off-plan developments commonly offer 0%-interest developer instalment plans that run through to handover — usually a down payment to reserve the unit, regular instalments across the construction period, and the balance due on completion. Terms vary by developer and project, so the cash outlay is staged rather than paid up front. Palmera sets out the full schedule before you commit.

You reserve a unit with a deposit, sign the sale contract, and pay the balance in instalments as the project is built, with title registered in your name on completion. Units are typically delivered either turnkey (move-in-ready, fully finished) or white-frame (a finished shell you fit out yourself), which is reflected in the price. Registration with the National Agency of Public Registry is fast, usually a day or two, and Palmera handles the paperwork end to end.

They suit different strategies. Batumi, on the Black Sea coast, is a fast-growing resort city — around 2.6 million international visitors in 2025 underpin an active short-let market, with blended gross yields near 7% (TBC Capital estimated about 7.2% for 2025) and managed beachfront units running higher in the June–August peak. Income there is seasonal. Tbilisi, the capital of roughly 1.2 million people, is a deeper year-round market: long-let demand from expatriates, students, a post-2022 relocation wave and digital nomads supports 12-month occupancy, with Global Property Guide putting Georgia’s gross yield near 7.4% in early 2026 and Tbilisi long-lets broadly in the 7–8% band. Many investors pair a Batumi holiday-let for summer upside with a Tbilisi apartment for steadier income. Figures are market-sourced and subject to change.
