Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be a sponsor for my spouse and minors?
Answer - Yes, you can. Your monthly wage must be at least double the amount of the minimum subsistence level for average consumers in Georgia.
My residence permit was issued for 6 months. Can I still file an application?
Answer - Technically, you can, but your family may face a refusal, as the term of stay is shorter than the minimum required.
