Can a foreigner buy property in Georgia
Yes. Foreigners buy apartments freehold, and the title is registered in the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). The purchase can be completed by a notarised power of attorney with an apostille or through a Georgian consulate.
Residence through property. From 1 Mar 2026 the threshold is $150,000 (it used to be $100,000, and many websites still show the old figure). We confirm the current amount and terms with an official source before the purchase.
Risks. There is no escrow for off-plan purchases in Georgia, so we check the developer and the payment schedule with extra care.
This is general information, not legal advice. Before the reservation we check the terms for your passport with a lawyer in the country of purchase.
Can you buy remotely?
You can complete a purchase remotely using a power of attorney. Usually, one step still requires you to be there in person: signing it at a notary's office or consulate in your country.
Georgia
Yes. A representative acting under a notarised power of attorney can sign the contract and register ownership in the Public Registry. A power of attorney issued abroad must be notarised and apostilled, or issued at a Georgian consulate, and accompanied by a notarised translation into Georgian (Residence Estate, CG Agency).
Important: Since October 2023, a power of attorney issued abroad must be notarised - a simple written authorisation is not accepted (CG Agency).
This is general information, not legal advice. Have a lawyer or notary in the country where you are buying confirm the power of attorney form, translation and apostille before you transfer any money.
You transfer the funds for the property to the developer or into an escrow account under the contract - never to an agency.
