To obtain this category of residence permit, you need to apply to the Public Service Development agency (via the Public Service Hall) in person or through a legal representative. In addition to the application, you need to provide:
- Photo 3×4.
- Passport.
- A document confirming the loss of Georgian citizenship (for example, a copy of the Presidential decree on the termination of citizenship, ID or something else).
The period for consideration of an application for a residence permit depends on the amount of the state fee:
- 30 days — 300 GEL.
- 20 days — 450 GEL.
- 10 days — 600 GEL.
During this period, the Agency checks whether there are any grounds for refusing to obtain a residence permit in relation to the applicant — they are provided in Article 18 of the mentioned law. If there are grounds (the person has provided forged or invalid documents), the Agency prepares a decision on the refusal to grant a residence permit. If there are no grounds for refusal and the applicant meets the requirements of the law, the Agency makes a decision on the issuance of a residence permit.
