Explore the hubs, visas, and tax systems of Georgia.

Consider this: citizens of over 90 countries can enter visa-free and stay for 365 days. No paperwork, no background checks, just a stamp at the border. But the true genius of Georgia lies in its 'Small Business Status,' an elegant tax structure that levies a mere 1% on turnover. It is a stunningly effective incentive that has transformed Tbilisi from a gritty post-Soviet capital into a thriving hub for remote workers. The counterintuitive truth about Georgia is that its greatest asset isn't the majestic mountains or the ancient wine culture—it is a breathtakingly simple bureaucracy.
