Hey everyone 👋
I'm planning to visit georgia for about 1 month starting mid May.
What is the war related scene there, should i even think about it, is it all good?

boris_k 2mo

What war? 😆

samgozman 2mo

Shields up!

t4nm4y 2mo

So everything's ok there, no effect from war?

boris_k 2mo

Please specify the war you're talking about 🤣

boris_k 2mo

Iran situation does affect some flights, that's it

t4nm4y 2mo

Yeah like any type of war i don't know much, i was mainly thinking russia, iran, ukraine one only.

samgozman 2mo

Only ongoing war with individual entrepreneurs concerns us living here 😁

boris_k 2mo

Nope, absolutely nothing. You should be worried about stepping in dog poo, though. That's a real danger here! 😁

t4nm4y 2mo

Yeah that's a danger here too 😂

t4nm4y 2mo

Ok thanks

peterscream 2mo

just don’t bring any war with you

Guys any information on updated visa regulations for foreigners?

sawsan 2mo

Do we need to apply to C5 visa?

As of now, most nationalities don't need it. It might be primarily intended for Indians of which there are many in Georgia.

Or it may be in the light of the preparation to abolish the 365-days visa-free regime for the other nationalities and replace it with the usual 90 days (there is no info about this yet but I myself have a strong feeling that it's coming).

Georgian Airways just cancelled my flight in June and it looks like it might be going bankrupt. I checked after seeing a post about it, so I'm not the only one.

boris_k 1mo

It's been in a near-bankrupt state for the past 6-7 years or so, so it's not a surprise 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good thing that they did. Not like Iberia did me one time and never got my money back after they files bankruptcy.

farmlancer 1mo

sad, they had some good routes

jmibl 1mo

They're not bankrupt yet. I took the substitute flight option. I'll see if I regret that in a few weeks.

guys/girls - how do you easily see relevant chat updates in tg? somewhat confusing when get notification but don't see anything or have to click through/search for georgia chat...slack was much easier?

7rulnik 1mo

just checking it time to time. Buy yeah, huge tg groups with topics are one of the worstest UI that I saw

7rulnik 1mo

Actually there are some solutions:
1. You own bot that need to be hosted somewhere and login with you credentials. You set topics that you want to be subscribed for. Recieve notifications when new messages apperas in that topic.
2. Nomadlist bot that has admin rights. It could notify people on new messages in topic. But it needs to be centralized, levelsio should host it somewhere. Not sure that he is intrested in this at all but maybe it worth to raise an issue.

Hey everyone, I'm coming to Tbilisi in next week, I'm looking for service provider to register the IE SBS 1%.
Which service provider is used here from the most of you in the nomads community? Thank you.

robinsinghvi 9d

Heading to Georgia on June 15 for 2 weeks. What neighbourhoods should I look to stay in Tbilisi to be close to everything and also find fellow nomads/digital workers etc? Also how is Batumi to be a nomad and work remote this time of the year? Thanks for your help folks!

robinsinghvi 9d

Also if someone has a recommendation for great apartment for 2 weeks, do let me know! Happy to support a member of the community rather than going the Airbnb route

Hello Georgia Community,
can someone tell me about opening a bank account at bank of georgia or Solo?

7rulnik 7d

So what exact questions?

davidbai 4d

Is there any Meetup this Weekend in Tbilisi?

davidbai 1d

Hello community, which apps are necessary to have in Tbilisi?

chrisnatterer 1d

Bolt and Yandex for transport (Bolt higher quality, Yandex cheaper), Wolt/Glovo/Bolt Food for deliveries (I think Wolt is the best), TTC for bus routes, other than that, no real apps I can think of

davidbai 11h

Thank you, Chris. Great!

Hi everyone,

I’d like to clarify something about opening a personal bank account in Georgia as a foreigner/non-resident.

Is it necessary to have a Georgian residence permit, tax residency, local registration, or a registered Georgian address in order to open a bank account?

Or is it usually possible to open an account as a non-resident with just a passport, KYC documents, proof of source of funds/income, and a clear explanation of why the account is needed?

I’d be especially interested in recent experiences with Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Solo and Liberty Bank.

Thank you 🙏

TBC is the easiest for non-residents at the moment, and it's a good bank too. Pretty much nothing is required, just fill out a form. That may depend on your citizenship, though. If you are from Europe/North America, there are zero issues. For the citizens of the 3rd world countries, the KYC may be tougher (for Indians - used to be especially difficult).
