Scope
Use the Passport for the current rule
Owning property does not itself grant residence. Georgia has permit routes tied to qualifying property value, valuation, application documents and continuing ownership conditions.
OwnASea separates national law, tax administration, registry procedure, bank products and market evidence. Conditional or under-review facts are never reduced to a simple yes/no answer.

- Do not generalise non-agricultural ownership to agricultural land.
- Property ownership, residence, tax residence and citizenship are separate legal questions.
- Verify the specific transaction with the relevant Georgian authority and qualified professional.
