Moving to Georgia? Someone will be there to meet you

Moving to another country is less about suitcases than about a hundred small questions in the first few days: the SIM card, the bank account, the first documents. We know them by heart and we walk that road with you.

A night flight is fine. We are used to it.

The worst part of moving

The first evening

After that everything is fine and easy β€” Georgia is a very friendly country. But the first evening is better not spent alone.

  1. You walk out of the airport, the letters around you are unfamiliar, and your phone has no internet.
  2. The taxi driver names a price and you have no idea whether it is a normal one.
  3. There is nowhere to get dinner and the pharmacy is closed.
  4. And β€œwhere do I change money around here” suddenly becomes a big question.

What we do

From β€œwhat should I bring” to β€œwhere is the good bakery”

Before you fly

We tell you what you must bring and what is simpler and cheaper to buy here. We advise on documents, on pets, on children, and on the things better shipped separately.

We answer every question, including the ones that feel stupid β€” they are not stupid.

Meeting you at Tbilisi airport

Our person will be waiting with a sign at any hour of the day or night. We drive you to your place, help with a SIM card on the way and show you where to go in the morning.

Your first place to stay

We help you find somewhere for the first days or weeks while you look around. We go and see the flat in advance, so you get honest photos and our opinion instead of marketing angles.

SIM card, bank account, transport

SIM card, bank account, exchange offices, transport cards, taxi apps. All the things that take one calm day if you know the order to do them in.

First documents and residence-permit questions

We tell you where to go with your particular question, whether it is a residence permit or a paper the bank is asking for. We help you book a slot, come along to the House of Justice and translate. State offices here work fast β€” you just have to turn up at the right window with the right paper.

Schools, pets, moving your belongings

Schools and kindergartens, the vet and the rules for bringing animals in, shipping and movers. If a question needs a specialist we say so straight away β€” and help you find one.

The first days, simply put

How the first week in Georgia usually goes

Day 1

Arrival day

Being met, the drive, checking in, internet on your phone, dinner. Nothing else has to happen that day.

Day 2

The neighbourhood

Where the groceries are, the pharmacy, the cash machine, a good cafΓ©. A SIM card, if you have not got one yet. An aimless walk β€” more important than it sounds.

Day 3–4

Errands

Bank, currency exchange, transport, the first documents. By this point the panic has usually passed.

Week

Somewhere to live long-term

We look at long-term options, sort out everyday life and introduce you to the people you are going to need.

Later

You are a local now

After that you are the one showing other people around. That is usually how it goes.

We are just normal people

We are not a concierge service with brass plaques. We are the people who live here, know the city, and can drive out on a free evening to meet someone at the airport β€” because somebody once met us.

If we have no driver free, we find one we trust. If a question is not ours to answer, we say so plainly and point you to the right person. Lying and upselling would not pay off: the country is small and everybody knows everything about everybody.

Frequent questions

Asked most often

Can't find your question? Just write to us. Answering questions is part of the job too.

I am not buying property. Will you help with the move alone?

Yes. Many people come to look around first and decide later β€” and that is the right order.

My flight lands at night. Is that a problem?

No. Most flights here arrive at night, and we are used to it.

We are moving with a dog or a cat. What documents do they need?

We will explain the documents and the import requirements, and point you to a vet and to housing where animals are genuinely welcome.

Do I need a car in Georgia?

It depends on the city and on how you live. Describe your situation and we will answer honestly β€” including if the answer is that you do not.

We are moving with children. What about schools in Georgia?

We will walk you through the options β€” Russian-speaking, English-language and local β€” and go and look at them with you.

Do we need Georgian, or are Russian and English enough?

In the cities you can live comfortably with Russian and English. Where Georgian really is needed, we translate.

Can you help with a residence permit?

We tell you where to go with your case, help you book a slot, come along and translate. We are not lawyers, and the decision is made by the state, not by us β€” where a lawyer is needed we say so straight away and help you find one.

How much does help with the move cost?

It depends on what you actually need β€” for some people it is one airport pickup, for others it is a whole first month. We tell you the price before we start, and nothing is charged before you agree to it.

Which cities do you meet people in?

Tbilisi and Batumi are the cities we know best. If you are landing in Kutaisi or moving somewhere else in the country, tell us and we will say straight away what we can do and what we cannot.

Still have questions?

Tell us when and where you are landing

Or simply β€œwe are thinking about moving, nothing decided yet” β€” that is a good way to start a conversation too. Write even if you are only looking around for now β€” it costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.

Or ask us to call you back

Leave a phone number and a couple of words about what you need. A real person calls back β€” usually the same day.

We reply within 5 minutesNo spam β€” just answers to your questions

A real person answers. No mailing lists.
