Batumi and Tbilisi Market
Georgia's two main investment hubs are Batumi (coastal, tourism) and Tbilisi (capital, long-term rental). Prices in Batumi range from approximately USD 950 to 1,800/m²; sea-view and hotel-concept projects offer higher yields. Annual rental yield typically stands at 7-12%.
Real Estate + Residence
Foreigners can acquire real estate in Georgia with full ownership and without restriction. As of 2026, a property purchase of USD 150,000 or more qualifies for a one-year investment residence permit, while USD 300,000 or more qualifies for a five-year permit. Transaction costs and taxes are relatively low.
Pairing Yield With Residence
Georgia is a natural fit for yield-focused investors who also value the option of residence, combining low entry prices with strong rental returns and unrestricted foreign ownership. Batumi and Tbilisi are the focal points, with sea-view properties in Batumi tending toward the upper end of the yield range. The pathway is refreshingly direct: you select a property, complete the title deed procedures, and, if you wish, use the purchase to qualify for an investment residence permit. A property value of USD 150,000 or more supports residence, with a longer term available at the higher purchase level, so aligning your budget with your residence goals from the start is worthwhile. A valid passport is the main personal requirement, and title and transaction costs are low. Buyers planning to let their property should weigh location carefully, since returns vary by area and view. With both an income asset and a residence option on the table, a short conversation with an advisor can help you structure the purchase around what matters most to you.
