REVERA Georgia Business Club Meeting in Tbilisi — Labour Migration in Georgia

Preparing for Labour Migration Reforms in 2026. What Changes Lie Ahead for IT Businesses and Employees?

Significant amendments have been introduced to Georgian legislation, set to take effect gradually from Autumn 2025 through 2027. These changes are crucial for:

• Company Executives managing teams relocated to Georgia.
• IT Specialists, Freelancers, and Individual Entrepreneurs operating within the country.

The core of the reform is to increase control over the employment activities of foreign nationals. Previous “visa-free” work arrangements will no longer be compliant, and operating without the required status will be strictly penalized with fines and potential deportation.

Join us on November 11th for a meeting of the REVERA Georgia Business Club in Tbilisi to discuss the reforms to Georgian labour migration legislation.
