Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay — with a source to verify each yourself.
Healthcare
Public coverage is provided via the state Universal Health Care programme, while higher-quality care is generally found in private hospitals and clinics in Tbilisi and Batumi.
Tip: pair with travel-medical + medical-evacuation cover.
Tax on foreign & pension income
Residents are taxed only on Georgian-source income, so foreign-source income (including foreign pensions) is generally exempt from Georgian personal income tax.
Not tax advice — confirm with a local professional.
English proficiency
English is most common among younger people and in tourism/hospitality in Tbilisi and Batumi, while Russian remains widespread among older generations.
