Threshold rose 50% in March 2026 — but existing owners are protected

Residence Permit via Property Purchase
Georgia

The threshold was raised from $100,000 to $150,000 effective 1 March 2026 — a 50% increase. Those who purchased property before the deadline renew status under the old threshold with no new appraisal, as long as they keep the property.

New threshold vs. the transition rule

The threshold increase doesn’t override the rights of those who purchased property before the deadline — a separate, explicitly protected condition.

What the process consists of

The property must be confirmed by an accredited appraiser — a simple purchase agreement without an independent appraisal is not enough.

How the process runs

01
Choosing a non-agricultural property
From $150,000 at the current threshold from 1 March 2026.
02
Confirming the value with an accredited appraiser
A mandatory requirement, not a formality.
03
Completing full payment for the purchase
Before filing for the residence permit.
04
Filing for the residence permit through the migration service
A single investment covers the applicant’s spouse and children.
05
Renewing status annually
While ownership of the property is maintained.

A good fit if

You can invest from $150,000 in non-agricultural property at the current threshold.
You already purchased property from $100,000 before 1 March 2026 — you keep the right to renew at the old threshold.
You plan to include a spouse and children under a single investment.
You are prepared for annual renewal while maintaining ownership of the property.

A poor fit if

You are counting on the outdated $100,000 threshold without a completed purchase before 1 March 2026 — $150,000 now applies to new applicants.
You plan to sell the property soon after receiving the permit — status is tied to maintaining ownership; selling likely ends renewal eligibility.
You need an independent appraisal but aren’t prepared to use specifically an accredited appraiser — this is a mandatory, not optional, requirement.
You need a direct official portal link — this page’s source is secondary, a specialised Georgian legal publication.

Frequent questions

Why do many sites still say $100,000?

That figure applied before 1 March 2026 — from that date the threshold rose to $150,000 for new applicants, but the old figure continues to appear on unupdated sources.

What if I bought property for $100,000 before the deadline?

Per the available data, you can renew the residence permit without a new appraisal at the old threshold, as long as you maintain ownership — the transition rule protects purchases already made.

Is an independent appraisal mandatory?

Yes — per the available data, the value must be confirmed specifically by an accredited appraiser; a simple purchase agreement is not enough.

Can agricultural property be used for this programme?

Per the available data, the programme is designed for non-agricultural property — agricultural land does not qualify under this threshold.

Does this programme lead to Georgian citizenship?

No — this page covers a 1-year residence permit with annual renewal, not citizenship or a separately described path to it.

What happens if the property is sold after receiving the permit?

Per the available data, renewal is tied to maintaining ownership of the property — selling likely ends renewal eligibility; the exact mechanism is not disclosed on this page.
