Country situation. I am currently in Pakistan and whats the best way to apply and get visa. Job market, job is easily available or  not. During study can student do job or not.

People, it is not possible any more, don't you read Georgia's new politics what's happening, new Government makes it not possible any more!!!
As a matter of fact people who are there dont get visas to stay, they are leaving already, even students cant get visas to continue studies, i read it all in Georgian papers, Georgia is 3 mil people and 80% unemployment!

Hi everybody,

This is to remind you that this topic has been created for the new members. On this thread they can introduce themselves and share with us their project about moving to Georgia.

However if you have specific questions to ask, it is therefore recommended that you open a new thread.

Thank you,

Priscilla

HELLO GEORGIA PEOPLE !!!!

My name is Wayne im from South Africa and will be moving to Georgia within the next few months. I am REALLY excited about the move !! We will be starting a Print - Design & Marketing company in Tbilisi.

Thank you for the welcoming message . My name is Nico and myself and the family we will soon relocate to Atlanta. I will assume as soon as end November 2014. I require advice on what small electrical items I can bring along should I obtain the adaptor in the US. Is it worth it or not? I know that big appliances such as washing machines, freezers, tumble dryers, etc will definately not work. Can I consider to bring my TV along or will that be a waste too?

Please i want to be linked to a nigerian schooling at tbilisi medical university

I have been in and out of Georgia since 2012 but just joined Georgian Expat.com.
Am from Singapore and would like to know expats living in Georgia, in particular Poti, my present residence.  I have a personal blog on Georgia, esleyang.com/georgia, though it needs updating since the implementation of new immigration policy in September 2014.

I did not renew my temporary residency in 2014 because I could live here without visa for 1 year.  However, that has changed in September 2014, so I  had to apply this year.  Will be getting my ID card at the end of this week.  Please read my blog on how to apply for one.

Welcome members to contact me.  I am also looking for opportunities here.
Thanks N Regards

Hey all, I'm a 30-something American who moved to Tbilisi about a month ago, I'm finding it difficult to meet other expats   If anyone is interested in chatting or if anyone has info about where to go to meet people, I'd love it if you'd reach out to me. I'm interested in travel (lived in and visited many places!), languages, reading, crafting, running, drinking coffee.... well, lots of things. Professionally, I'm a teacher and sometimes a writer

That's all! Pleased to meet all of you

Thanks for the welcoming remarks.  My plan is to buy a property at Tbilisi or Batumi and make Georgia my second home.  Also may be starting a business in training work force for the oil industry.
Any thought of where to buy and what will be the appropriate location.  I am a retired engineer and look for a happy place to live in.

This poor people must know what we,Georgians think about their immigration in Georgia.
Also Somebody must explain,that in Georgia they can't get job,because many Georgians are themselves without jobs.

People let me explain what is happening in Georgia. If you are rich and want to invest/ BIG money I guess there will be no problem but if you think to go there and get a job forget it!!!

Let me tell you the truth which you probably don't know and if you knew you will run as far & fast like Georgians run from Georgia(if they get the possibility)

I am Georgian born living in NL and want to live in Georgia, I come every year to get a job, any kind, believe or not there is NO job there at all! only 20% of the entire population has a job! yes!
I speak 5 languages! have university degree! I can not get any job in my own country(so many others/Georgians )and how do you think you get anything there?!

Even if you get a job the average salary is 300 lari($170!!!) that is not even enough to rent a place to live as renting costs twice more, now let me talk about food/products in markets, it is very expensive and even more expensive than in Holland! meat costs 12-15 lari!!! also cheese the same price and all other... you will ask how people survive? I tell you how, ALL families have a member that left Georgia to work like slaves in US & Europe! they take care sick and old... they can not see their own children for years who are brought up without mothers, now you tell me if there were a n y jobs in Georgia why would anyone leave own family and kids go and take care of sick and old like a slave they work to support their families in Georgia!

If Georgians can not get a n y job in their country(I am talking about ANY job they are willing to take to be with their own family and kids)how you think to get a job there, you don't even speak Georgian, what do you expect to get ?! you can not get any kind of job, let nobody tell you otherwise! and pls don't trust people who tell you come you will get jobs here. This is a lie! sorry to tell you that but there are also some racists active lately, sorry, they don't want you to know this and many more

After all you can not get a vizum more than 3 months, there are people who bought lands there because they were promised this and that(someone that makes his own business by selling lands), these people thought they could stay..but...they are trying to sell their lands now because they can not get vizum and the local population don't let them use the land they bought! ie Kakheti and many other regions, they try to sell and leave but can not even for the half price and I know this very well because i come to Georgia every year to find a job and can not, that's why I am selling my house and will never come back again.
So I don't advice you to come , stay out of this country, like I do! this is my own story and 100%  true story


Sorry that i have to tell you this, but this is the only truth !

Hi my good friends in Georgia my names are Leonard Egbunonu form Nigeria getting ready to move to Georgia for business I am into automobile maintenance

Leonard, read my post here

Let me tell you this, I have a couple of Georgian friends doing what you do but not even one has a job, so dont be mistaken my friend, you can not get not that but not any kind of job and speaking about a visa? forget it! you might get 3 months, might. not sure, nowadays very strict policy

Hi i am Rajendra Poudel from Nepal. i am planing to further study in Georgia. So can i get part time job in Georgia during the study time

As most of the people already mentioned, getting a job here is pretty hard already and for foreigners its almost impossible. You should get to know the country's situation first before just applying and hoping to get a job

Hello!
Am Alla. New in this forum, but not very new in Tbilisi. Here since 2013.
I was reading few last comments about living and working in Tbilisi... I am writing Tbilisi, because the rest of this amazing country normally is not considered to live in by expats.
So, Tbilisi. Live costs are not thaaaaaaat expensive, comparing to other more or less civilized places. To be employed - in 95% cases must speak Georgian language, which is not easy to learn. So this option is usually the "mission impossible".
A lot of expats are self-employed here and I would say this is the best option. It's very easy to register and pay taxes as per your activities, which also gives the possibility to apply for temporary residence.
Locals are not very eager to learn, improve and compete, so if you are professional and can prove that you do something better than everybody else - there is always will be work for you. Sure it takes time to spread the word, which is also the most important point in Georgian mentality - they only follow references from friends or people they know. Don't get high expectations from regular advertisement options or introduction of totally new product or service here. Word of mouth - is a main advertisement vehicle here.

Good luck to everybody!!

Everything you said is absolutely true. There is no economy here and ZERO opportunity for return on ANY investment. The likelihood that this will ever change nil. If you must come, get a job FIRST.
