Family Reunification Residence Permit

Overview

The family reunification residence permit lets family members of a foreign national who holds a Georgian residence permit, and in some cases family members of Georgian citizens, live in Georgia. The sponsoring relationship and means of support are evidenced to the Public Service Development Agency. It is a settlement-capable route, with lawful time held counting toward later permanent-residence eligibility.
