New work permit rules in Georgia from 2026: What foreign professionals should expect

From March 1, 2026, Georgia will introduce a mandatory work permit system for most foreign nationals, replacing the current policy that allows employment without a dedicated permit. Employers must apply on behalf of foreign workers, with processing times of up to 30 days. Certain groups, such as permanent residents and recognised refugees, will be exempt. A transition period runs until January 1, 2027. Non-compliance will result in fines for both foreign workers and employers.
