Buying an Apartment in Georgia Remotely: What MAQRO City Tbilisi Offers Emigrants

For Georgians living abroad, buying an apartment in Georgia is increasingly seen not as a distant plan, but as a real and accessible step. The main question that arises is about the process itself: how possible is it to select an apartment, sign a contract, and start payments if the buyer is not physically present in the country? Georgian legislation and real estate market practice give a clear answer to this question: the vast majority of the process can be completed remotely, and Maqro City Tbilisi offers interested buyers a separate mechanism for this as well.

Why Interest in Buying an Apartment in the Homeland Is Growing

Property ownership rights in Georgia do not depend on citizenship: a person holding a foreign passport can purchase residential property under the same conditions as a Georgian citizen. No additional permit or residency status is required. This is especially important for emigrants who have obtained citizenship of another country over the years. In terms of purchasing property, their status is no different from that of a Georgian citizen.

This is further supported by the tax environment: there is no tax on purchasing a residential apartment, while income from renting it out is taxed at a flat rate of 5%. Market indicators also confirm this profit-oriented decision. At the end of 2025, apartments in Tbilisi yielded an average annual rental return of 8.6%, which exceeds many European cities. It is precisely this combination — equal rights, light taxation, and stable profitability — that makes owning property in the homeland an increasingly practical choice for emigrants. Against this backdrop, a natural question arises: how possible is it to carry out the entire process remotely?

How Possible Is It to Complete the Process Remotely

The purchasing process is divided into two stages, which often causes confusion for a remote buyer. At the first stage, a preliminary sale agreement is signed, which reserves the apartment for the buyer and sets the payment schedule. This document is signed remotely and is not registered in the public registry. The second, main agreement is registered in the public registry once the property is put into operation. This is the only stage that requires the physical presence of the buyer or their representative.

There is also another way that allows the buyer to avoid coming to the country at all — purchasing by power of attorney. If the notarized power of attorney clearly specifies the authority to purchase real estate, a trusted person in Georgia — whether a family member, friend, or lawyer — can carry out the entire process on the buyer’s behalf, including final registration. However, one of the most frequently asked questions about remote purchasing concerns the selection of the apartment itself: how can a buyer make an informed decision if they cannot assess the property in person?

Remote Consultation: Choosing an Apartment Online

To answer exactly this question, MAQRO City Tbilisi offers interested customers a remote consultation. Interested parties can book an online meeting with a sales representative, who will show the project model, apartment layout, and showroom space via video call — practically with the same level of detail as an on-site visit. During this meeting, prices, payment terms, and the list of available apartments are discussed, as well as more specific issues, such as the condition in which the space is handed over to the new owner.

This detail is especially important for a remote buyer: apartments delivered with full renovation do not require additional visits to monitor renovation work and offer the customer a move-in-ready home — a circumstance that becomes particularly significant when regular visits to the property are not possible.

What Documents Are Needed

The list of documents required for a remote purchase is short and depends solely on whose name the registration is made under. For an individual, a valid identification document is sufficient. For a purchase by power of attorney, the aforementioned notarized document is required, while for a purchase under a legal entity’s name, minutes of the partners’ meeting are needed, unless the company’s charter specifies otherwise. As a rule, this list is clarified in advance during the online consultation, giving the buyer full clarity before starting the process.

Remotely purchasing real estate in Georgia is no longer an exception. It is a well-established, reliable practice supported by both legislation and market players. If you are planning to buy an apartment in your homeland, you virtually no longer need to travel there in person. Everything can be arranged from your screen, through online consultation and a remote contract. The first step in this process is booking an online meeting with Maqro City Tbilisi, from which you can get answers to specific questions and clarify the next steps.
