Obtain tax residency in Georgia through the special High Net Worth Individual (HNWI) program with legal and tax support from NOMOS Georgia.
What Is Obtaining Tax Residency in Georgia (HNWI)?
The HNWI (High Net Worth Individual) program is a special opportunity provided under Georgian legislation for individuals with high levels of wealth and income to become Georgian tax residents without the requirement to spend 183 days in the country.
This is a unique tool for global investors and asset owners because Georgia uses a territorial tax system, which means that income from foreign sources is exempt from income tax.

The HNWI tax residency program is designed for high-income individuals and investors operating internationally who want to benefit from Georgia’s flexible and liberal tax system.
