Residence permit through property in Georgia

We prepare a residence permit application on the basis of property ownership: check the property itself and its valuation, assemble the set, file and run the case through to the decision.

What decides here is not the fact of purchase but the property and its value under a certified valuer's report. So the work starts with checking the property, not with filing.

Kanon Georgia is a private law and accounting firm, not a government authority. The competent authority makes the decision; state fees are paid separately.

What the work covers

• Checking the property: legal status, encumbrances, registry data, whether the recorded area matches.
• Reviewing the valuation. It is carried out by a certified valuer; we look at whether an existing report will do or a new one is needed.
• Checking your current status and dates of lawful stay.
• The document set for this basis.
• Translations, notarial certification and support with apostilles.
• Filing and running the case through to the decision.
• Working with a refusal - reading the wording and choosing the way forward.

If the property has not been bought yet

Checking before the transaction is the sensible order: some problems cannot be cured, and finding out costs less before a deposit is paid. That is a separate service and can be ordered without transaction support.

What is not included

• The decision itself. It rests with the state authority. Nobody, ourselves included, can guarantee it, and we make no promises of that kind.
• The state fee. Paid separately; its size depends on the processing time you choose.
• Obtaining documents in another country where they are issued only to the applicant in person.
• Medical insurance, where required, is arranged by you.
• The applicant's own steps: attendance, biometrics.

What you will need

• Your passport: every completed page.
• All current and previous Georgian documents: residence permit, ID card, certificates.
• A timeline of entries and exits over recent years.
• Proof of where you live in Georgia.
• Documents on your income and its source.
• Family members' documents for a joint application.
• Any previous refusals and the decisions on them, with dates.
• Details of what has already been apostilled and translated, and what has not.

Missing part of the set is not a reason to wait. At the review it often turns out that half of what was collected is not needed and what is needed is missing.

How the work goes

1. You describe the case through the form, by email or in a messenger.
2. A lawyer reviews the facts: what you already have, what has to be obtained, where the weak points are.
3. We agree the scope and the price. Up to this point you pay nothing.
4. We sign a contract in which the scope of the service is set out in writing.
5. You hand over the documents, we check the set and tell you what is missing.
6. We run the procedure and keep you informed at every step.
7. You receive the result and the full set of documents.

Prices

Our fee and the state fee are counted separately. The valuation is paid separately - it is the work of a certified valuer.

Consultation from $30. The price for your case is confirmed before the work starts and fixed in the contract.

What is outside our control

• The authority's decision and how long the review takes.
• Requirements for the document set: they are refined and must be checked on the filing date.
• The work of another country's authorities: certificates, apostilles, legalisation.
• Circumstances that already exist: previous refusals, breaches of stay, mismatches in documents from earlier years.

We tell you the weak points of the case before the work starts. If in our view the basis is shaky, you will hear it plainly rather than after filing.

About this page. It sets out the scope of our service and the general order of the procedure. It is not legal advice and not a public offer: the scope, the timing and the price for a particular matter are agreed individually and recorded in the contract. Requirements, fees and practice change, so anything here is checked against the position on the day you apply. In many procedures the final decision rests with the competent authority and its discretion, so a positive outcome cannot be guaranteed.
