Georgian officialdom is my job. Yours is to live and work

Residence permits, individual entrepreneur registration, the right to work (special labour permit), bank accounts, taxes. I take on the paperwork, the agencies and the deadlines — you get a clear plan and a result.

  • 01

    The price is known upfront

    The cost of every service is published. State fees, the notary and the translator are paid separately, at cost — I always name them before we start.

  • 02

    One person handles your case

    No call centre, no queue of account managers. From the first day you know who is running your case and who to ask.

  • 03

    Three languages in one pair of hands

    With you I speak Russian or English; with the agencies, Georgian. Nothing gets lost in translation.

  • 04

    Deadlines under control

    I keep track of when residence permits, permits and contracts expire and remind you about renewal early, not in the final week.

Why this is needed

The hard part is not the law — it is having nowhere to ask about it

Georgia's rules on staying, registering a business and hiring are broadly friendly to foreigners. But they are spread across different agencies, they change, and the official clarifications come out in Georgian.

So people spend weeks on forums and chats, collect advice of varying freshness, turn up at the Public Service Hall with an incomplete set of documents — and start again.

My job is to replace that search with one clear route: what exactly you need in your case, in what order, what it really costs and what is happening with your application right now.

How we work

Four steps, and after that only updates from me

No “send everything you have and wait”. At every stage you know what is happening and what is needed from you.

  1. We go through your situation

    30–40 minutes of conversation: your goal, citizenship, timing, family, work and income. You come out knowing which grounds are really open to you.

  2. Plan and estimate

    A written route: the documents needed, the order of steps, the timescales and the full cost, including state fees and third-party services.

  3. We prepare the documents

    I check your documents, fill in the applications, arrange translation and notarisation, and book the appointments.

  4. We see it through

    I deal with the agencies, follow the review, respond to requests for extra documents and tell you the decision.

From my casebook

Three recent engagements

Paperwork flow

A company with remote contractors in Georgia and abroad: bilingual contracts and acts, renewal deadlines kept in the founder's head.

I built the routine: a single register, bilingual Russian/Georgian templates, automatic deadline tracking.

Renewals and acts take minutes; no deadline has been missed

Monthly closings

Every month the whole contractor team needs closing acts in two languages — on time, with no errors in the details.

I keep the closing calendar: the document pack is prepared in advance and goes out for signatures without the company chasing me.

Accounting gets its acts on time, month after month

New contractor

The company needs a new remote contractor set up quickly and correctly — contract, documents, records.

A contract from a proven bilingual template, a document folder, an entry in the register — all from a single request.

The person was fully set up the same day

Details that could identify the clients have been changed or removed.

Who I am

Natalia Tsereteli — your case manager in Georgia

I live in Georgia and do administrative accompaniment for foreign nationals: from a first individual entrepreneur (sole proprietor) registration to residence permit renewals and questions about hiring.

I am not a law firm and not a lawyer. I am the person who knows how Georgian procedures work in practice: which document is accepted and which is sent back; where there is a queue and where you book online; what is asked at the interview.

Work like this rests on being careful. So for every case I hold the list of documents, the dates and the status — and you can ask about them at any moment.

I will not promise that Georgian bureaucracy becomes simple. I will promise that you no longer have to work it out on your own.

How I work

  • I say it straight: if you can do it without me, I will tell you
  • I don't promise results that are not mine to deliver
  • Every amount is named before we start, not along the way
  • Client documents and data never leave my hands
  • If you need a lawyer or an auditor, I bring in one I trust

Questions

What people ask before we start

All questions and answers →

Are you a lawyer?

No. I am a personal manager for administrative matters: I prepare and file documents, deal with the agencies, keep the deadlines. Legal representation in court and legal opinions are the work of an advocate, and if that is needed I will recommend a specialist.

Do you guarantee the residence permit will be approved?

No, and nobody can: the decision is made by a state authority. I answer for what preparation controls — the set will be complete, the application correct, the deadlines met, and any requests from the agency handled fast. That clearly improves the odds, but it is not the decision.

Are state fees and the notary included in the price?

No. State fees, the notary and the translator are paid separately and at actual cost. I name those amounts in advance, in the estimate, so the final figure is never a surprise.

Do I have to come in person?

Some procedures can be done remotely, but not all: documents for the Employment Agency, for instance, are filed by the applicant in person, and the compulsory video interview is attended in person too. I prepare you for those steps and handle everything else.

Which language will we speak?

With you, Russian or English, whichever suits you. With the agencies, the notary and the bank, Georgian. You do not need a separate translator to talk to me.

Can I take just one procedure, without a package?

Yes. The price list has single services: document checks, filling in an application, accompaniment to a government office, help with a bank account. A package works out cheaper when there are several tasks.

First step

Tell me what your situation is

Write a couple of lines: your citizenship, what you need and by when. I will tell you which route fits, what it takes and what it costs.

The first conversation is there to understand the task, and commits you to nothing.
