FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These are the questions people ask before we start. If yours is not here, write to me and I will add it.

Are you a lawyer?

No. I am a personal manager for administrative matters: preparing and filing documents, dealing with government bodies, tracking deadlines. Legal opinions and representation in court are a lawyer's work.

Can you guarantee I will be approved?

No. The decision is made by a government body. What I answer for is the quality of the preparation: a complete file, a correctly written application, deadlines met and fast replies to queries. That is what actually moves the outcome.

What is included in the price and what is not?

The price covers my work: the consultation, checking and preparing documents, filling in applications, dealing with the agencies, keeping the process on track. It does not cover state fees, notary and translator services or bank charges — those are paid separately at actual cost.

How long does it take to get a residence permit?

Processing times are set by the agency and they change, so I do not quote the "average figure from the internet". At the first consultation I give you the current time frame for your grounds, and what can stretch it — a request for extra documents, for example.

I was refused. Can anything be done?

Often, yes. First we need to understand the reason for the refusal — sometimes it is a formality in the document set, sometimes the wrong grounds were chosen. I go through the situation and tell you whether it makes sense to reapply and what to change. If the matter becomes a legal one, we bring in a lawyer.

Can everything be done remotely?

Partly. A lot is settled online, but there are steps the applicant takes in person: the compulsory online video interview for the right to work (the special labour permit), for instance, and some visits to government offices. I tell you in advance where you are needed.

What is small business status with 1% tax?

It is a special tax regime for individual entrepreneurs in Georgia with turnover below a set threshold. It does not suit every kind of activity. At the consultation I explain whether you qualify, and what has to be done at registration in order to get it.

Do you help with accounting and tax returns?

I help you register on the Revenue Service portal, set up your personal account there and I coordinate tax questions. Ongoing bookkeeping is a separate profession; if you need one, I will recommend an accountant.

Do you work with families?

Yes. The Personal Manager and VIP Support packages include coordinating the administrative matters of family members — documents for children and spouses, and their permit deadlines.

How do I pay?

Payment terms are agreed before we start and written into the contract. Monthly packages are paid month by month; one-off services follow an agreed schedule.

What if I only need one procedure?

Take a single service from the price list: a document check, filling in an application, accompaniment to a government office, help with a bank account. A package makes sense when there are several tasks.

Do you keep things confidential?

Yes. Documents and personal data are used only for the procedure they were given for, and are not passed to third parties without your consent — except where the law requires it.

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.
