Residence view in Georgia.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions in recent months, so I briefly tell you how you can claim it, what it gives and what is the practice of giving it out now.
📌Who can get:
✔️spouses, minor children and parents of minor children are citizens of Georgia
✔️students at local universities, PTU, schools
✔️minor children and spouses of the owner of a short-term long-term student insurance (a very common pattern, when parents of a child who received a long-term student allowance at school apply for a long-term pension)
✔️buyers of property in the amount of $100 thousand (until 2019 - 50 thousand). $)
✔️employed in a company with a turnover of 50,000 GEL per year for each foreign specialist (including, through IEs, after its income exceeds 50 thousand GEL)
What VNZH provides:
✔️possibility of opening a multi-currency account in any bank
allows to live in the country during its validity, that is, you do not need to leave in a year
✔️contact consular institutions of foreign countries (submit documents for Schengen, they do not accept without VNZ)
get health insurance on more favorable terms (e.g. pay it monthly, not once a year)
✔️there are discounts for residents in medical facilities
✔️issue credentials remotely, via video call with a notary
✔️use electronic government services, and some at a discount
✔️get the covid-19 vaccine without waiting
✔️The opportunity to drive a car with Georgian plates of some countries
✔️get up to 50% discount in museums, parks and nature reserves
✔️submit in 10 years the visa application of Georgian citizenship
❗️What is happening now is factual: every second application submitted, even with a full set of documents for the State of Justice, is rejected. The refusal is motivated by the article "other reasons" and does not require an explanation from the Georgian authorities.
