Description

Wyndham Residence Gonio is a beachfront complex of 576 apartments in Gonio, on the Black Sea coast of Adjara south of Batumi, which the Georgian developer NEXT sells with Wyndham branding, fully furnished, under a handover stated for December 2026.

This guide to Wyndham Residence Gonio reads the developer’s project page as shown on 8 November 2026: a studio from USD 151,200, a 10% first payment, 50% in instalments and 40% dated January 2028. It sets those figures beside the calculator on the developer’s home page, which prints lower studio prices, and beside the Wyndham Grand pages already listed on this site, and it adds sourced notes on Gonio and on buying in Georgia.

It marks each point the developer does not publish.

Overview of Wyndham Residence Gonio

The developer’s page puts the project in Gonio, in the Batumi area of Adjara, and states a handover of December 2026. NEXT names it “Wyndham Residences” in the page text and “Wyndham” on its project cards, and the page title reads “Wyndham Residence”. The headline figures are 576 apartments, a studio price from USD 151,200 and apartments sold fully furnished.

The page carries no presale label, and it prints no street address, plot number or map pin. It names no building permit or title document. Where this guide says the developer “does not publish” something, it means the project page and the pages linked from it, as read on 8 November 2026.

Three things set this page apart among the NEXT listings. The first is the Wyndham wording, which Section 4 reads against the Wyndham Grand pages already on this site. The second is the gap between the project-page prices and the prices in the calculator on the developer’s home page, which Section 2 sets out. The third is the date: December 2026 is the nearest handover on the list in Section 7 that has not already passed.

The key-facts table below gives the figures as the project page prints them, with a note where the page is silent. Where the page prints two values for one fact, such as the studio size, the table shows one and the sections that follow set out the other, so that a reader can see which figure each later number rests on.

Unit types, sizes and prices, and the home-page calculator

The project page lists three priced types and a count for a fourth. The first table reproduces the sizes as the page prints them in two places, the size block and the layout cards, because the two do not match. Counts come from the size block.

Wyndham Residence Gonio unit types as printed Size block (m²) Layout card: from (m²) Layout card: up to (m²) Count
Studio 31.1-43.3 42 42 456
One Bedroom (1+1) 46.3-58.3 48.5 58.3 118
Front Lux One Bedroom 56.25-57.57 57.4 103.5 not separately stated
Duplex not published no card no card 2
Total 576 (calculated: 456 + 118 + 2)

Each layout card prints a lower price with a lower size and an upper price with an upper size. The second table divides each printed price by its printed size. The results are calculated, they use the developer’s own area figures, and the page does not say whether those areas include balconies or terraces.

Wyndham Residence Gonio price and price per m² (calculated) Size (m²) Price (USD) Price per m² (USD) Label on the page
Studio, from 42 151,200 3,600 Fully furnished (project label)
Studio, up to 42 154,560 3,680 Fully furnished (project label)
One Bedroom, from 48.5 176,649 3,642 Fully furnished (project label)
One Bedroom, up to 58.3 233,000 3,997 Fully furnished (project label)
Front Lux, from 57.4 261,443 4,555 Fully furnished (project label)
Front Lux, up to 103.5 382,950 3,700 Fully furnished (project label)

The “from” price of the one-bedroom type is 1.17 times the studio price, and the Front Lux price is 1.73 times (calculated), so on the “from” lines the page prices a larger area at a similar or higher rate per square metre, not a lower one. Inside the studio type the card prints USD 151,200 and USD 154,560 for the same 42 m². The two are 2.2% apart (calculated).

The page does not explain what moves a studio from one price to the other, such as floor, view or position.

The Front Lux card needs a careful reading. Its lower size, 57.4 m², sits inside the 56.25-57.57 m² of the size block, but its upper size is 103.5 m², and the size block prints no unit of that area. The page does not say whether the larger figure is a one-bedroom unit with a very large terrace or a different layout, so the area of any Front Lux unit is a point to confirm unit by unit.

Using the size block only, the 456 studios and 118 one-bedroom units add up to between about 19,645 m² (every unit at its smallest size) and about 26,624 m² (every unit at its largest), before the two duplexes (calculated). The page gives no size for the duplexes and no price.

The home page of the same site contains a calculator that lists the same three types with price and size ranges, headed “*Price with renovation”. The third table sets it beside the project page.

Wyndham Residence Gonio: home-page calculator and project page Calculator price (USD) Calculator size (m²) Project page “from” price (USD) Position of the page price (calculated)
Studio 115,000-138,000 31.63-43.3 151,200 13,200 (9.6%) above the top of the calculator range
One Bedroom (1+1) 152,800-227,175 46.3-58.3 176,649 Inside the calculator range
Front Lux 244,690-282,090 56.3-57.6 261,443 Inside the calculator range

For the studio, the lowest price on the page is above the top of the calculator’s range, so the gap cannot be put down to the calculator showing a range that contains the page figure. The calculator’s lowest studio figure is USD 36,200, or 23.9%, below the page price (calculated). For the other two types the page price sits inside the calculator range.

Dividing the calculator ends by their own size ends gives USD 3,636 and 3,187 per m² for the studio, 3,300 and 3,897 for the one-bedroom, and 4,346 and 4,897 for the Front Lux (calculated by pairing the ends in the order printed).

The two sets of numbers carry different labels. The project page says “Fully furnished”. The calculator says “*Price with renovation” and the home page lists renovation packages from USD 650 per m² and turnkey packages, which include furnishing, appliances and decor, from USD 900 per m². The pages do not say whether “with renovation” and “fully furnished” mean the same finish, or which figure includes which package.

This guide therefore gives the project-page figures first, because they are tied to a named unit, a size and a finish label, and shows the calculator figures as printed. A buyer needs the price of the specific unit, its area and its finish in writing, and should not rely on either set alone.

Location: Gonio on the Adjara coast, south of Batumi

Gonio is a coastal settlement south of Batumi, on the left bank of the Chorokhi river. The Adjara tourism portal Visit Batumi places the Gonio-Apsaros Fortress in the village of Gonio about 12 kilometres from Batumi, and the georgia.travel page on the sights of Ajara gives the same figure and calls Gonio one of the settlements in Batumi. The portal files the same fortress under Khelvachauri Municipality, so the two official tourism pages use different administrative labels.

Aerial photo of the tower with the beach and nearby buildings

The developer’s wording, “Gonio, Batumi”, follows the second. A Public Registry extract for the plot gives the address and cadastral code that settle the question for a particular unit.

The developer’s page measures nothing in kilometres. It says the complex is 15 minutes from the city centre and 5 minutes from the Turkish border, and it does not name the transport mode. It prints no address and no map pin, so no distance can be measured from the building itself.

The guide on Georgia Black Sea coast property lists road distances for the settlement, computed with the OSRM routing engine on 27 October 2026: 12.8 km and 16 minutes from central Batumi to Gonio, 9.7 km and 18 minutes to Batumi International Airport, and 19.9 km and 27 minutes to Sarpi. Those are distances to points in the settlements, not to this building.

The beach “First line of the beach”; a private beach is listed No figure Developer wording developer’s project page

The border matters to the settlement. The customs page of the national tourism administration lists three customs points in Ajara: Sarpi, an automobile checkpoint, Batumi Port and Batumi Airport. The tourism statistics show who crosses it. In 2025, Geostat’s inbound tourism statistics for 2025 count 7.8 million arrivals of international non-resident travellers in Georgia and 6.9 million visits by international visitors. Tbilisi had 3.8 million of those visits and Adjara A/R 2.7 million.

Citizens of the Russian Federation made 1.6 million visits, citizens of Turkey 1.2 million and citizens of Armenia 0.9 million. These are national and regional figures, and they do not describe occupancy in one building.

For scale, Geostat’s population release gives Adjara A.R. 413.2 thousand people on 1 January 2026, of whom 279.9 thousand live in urban and 133.3 thousand in rural settlements, out of 3,941.1 thousand in Georgia. Adjara is therefore about 10.5% of the country’s population (calculated). Gonio itself is not broken out in that release.

On climate, the Visit Batumi weather page describes a humid subtropical coast. It gives an annual average of 13 to 14.5 degrees, +6.5 in January and +24.5 in August, and it says heavy rain is frequent. The same page names Mount Mtirala as a point with up to 4,000 mm of precipitation a year. The georgia.travel page on Sarpi, cited above, says the sea reaches +25 degrees in summer.

The developer states that the pool is heated to 28 °C all year, which describes a building feature and not the climate.

One price reference exists for the zone. The guide on Georgia Black Sea coast property reproduces Galt & Taggart zone data that put the Gonio-Kvariati average at USD 2,048 per m² in December 2025. The studio rate on this project page, USD 3,600 per m², is 1.76 times that figure (calculated).

The two numbers do not share a basis: one is a zone average for an unspecified mix of buildings, and the other is the lowest studio rate of a new, fully furnished building. The comparison shows a difference in basis and does not rank either. The guide on Batumi apartment prices per square metre sets out the other rates on this site.

The page does not describe the plot, the access road, the neighbouring buildings or the distance to the water in metres. It describes the setting as a quiet area with sea and mountain views. For the wider coastline and the other buildings in the Gonio and Kvariati belt, see the guide on off-plan property in Batumi.

What the Wyndham wording covers, and how it differs from the Wyndham Grand pages

The brand is the main thing that sets this page apart, so it helps to read exactly what is printed. The concept text says that “Wyndham Branded Residence follows the world-known Wyndham International standards” and that the apartments have sea and mountain views. A later section says the residences combine the space of a private apartment with hotel service, in apartments with a separate living area and a “chef-ready kitchen”.

Rendering of the tower with beach promenade and sea

The page’s meta description says a Wyndham management team takes charge of the care of the branded residence, and a section on returns refers to a “branded hotel model” and “professional international management”.

The developer’s About page places Wyndham Residences in its 2020 entry and calls it the company’s first global hotel brand partnership. It names Wyndham Hotels & Resorts among its hotel partners. None of these pages names a licence or franchise agreement, an operator company, a contract term, a service-charge basis or the obligations of owners, and the project page links to no page of the brand owner.

The published material therefore leaves open who runs the services, who is paid for them and what an owner may be asked to contribute.

The brand owner’s own pages are the reference for the branding terms. Wyndham’s company page describes the group as a hotel franchise company and says that its hotels are independently owned and operated, except certain hotels managed or owned by a subsidiary. Its investor relations page gives approximately 8,500 hotels in about 100 countries, about 877,000 rooms and 25 brands.

A Wyndham press release of 28 October 2024 introduces a “Wyndham Residence” tier in the United States and says Wyndham Residences exist in other parts of the world, including the United Arab Emirates and Greece. It does not mention Georgia, and the NEXT page does not refer to it, so this guide draws no link between the two.

The wording on this site’s other Gonio pages is different by one word. The listings for Wyndham Grand Residences Batumi Gonio Aqua and Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio Family Club use the name “Wyndham Grand”. The Family Club listing, which reads the developer’s pages of 5 November 2026, names European Village LLC as the developer of the Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio complex and Aimbridge Hospitality as the manager named in trade press.

The NEXT page uses “Wyndham Residences” and names neither a developer entity nor an operator. The table below sets out what each side prints.

Wyndham Residence Gonio compared with the Wyndham Grand listings NEXT page: Wyndham Residences (8 November 2026) Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio projects, as summarised on the Family Club listing (developer pages of 5 November 2026)
Name used “Wyndham Residences”, “Wyndham Branded Residence” “Wyndham Grand”; five projects: Aqua, Family Club, Riviera, Villas, Sky Castle
Developer named NEXT (next-property.com) European Village LLC
Operator named None; the About page names Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as a hotel partner Aimbridge Hospitality (July 2024 trade press and the developer’s site)
Units 576 apartments (456 studios, 118 one-bedroom, 2 duplexes) Trade reports of 13 September 2023: 755 apartments, suites and townhouses in the residences, plus a hotel with 300 rooms and suites

Sale format Apartments sold fully furnished; ownership format not stated Family Club: hotel units; co-ownership of a hotel room by share also offered
Address None published Family Club: Svimon Kananeli street 11g, Gonio-Kvariati, per a portal

The two columns describe differently named projects with different unit counts, floor numbers, brand wording and price bases. The NEXT page prints no address or plot, so the table cannot place the building relative to the Wyndham Grand buildings. A registry extract for the cadastral code in the sale agreement answers that for a given unit. This guide draws no legal conclusion from the comparison.

The Family Club listing converts its EUR rate to about USD 10,213 per m² at the National Bank of Georgia rate of 5 November 2026, against USD 3,600 per m² for the NEXT studio, but the two cover different formats and area bases, so the figures are not a like-for-like comparison.

The date needs its own reading. A handover in December 2026 is 53 days after 8 November 2026 (calculated). The page’s image set contains photographs of a building exterior and furnished rooms as well as renderings, yet the page does not say the building is complete: its text says “Handover status in Dec 2026” and “fully completed in December 2026”. The last 40% is dated January 2028, which is 13 months after the stated handover (calculated).

The page does not say whether keys, use of the furnished apartment and registration of title come before or after that payment.

Three smaller points are printed inconsistently. The size block gives an apartment ceiling height of 2.74 m, and a later section says the architectural ceiling height is 3.0 m in all apartments. The text describes a rooftop infinity pool of 25 m by 1.5 m, heated to 28 °C, while the pool illustration on the page is a rendering of an outdoor pool with loungers, with no level named.

The page also prints a structural claim about earthquakes and energy-saving percentages for the air conditioning and glass, which are the developer’s marketing statements and are not repeated here.

The checklist below collects what the page leaves open for a branded, furnished unit. Each item is something to ask for in writing, and none of them is a statement that a document is absent.

  1. The brand arrangement, as far as it touches owners: the licence holder, the services it covers and its term.
  2. The company that provides reception, housekeeping and security, with its contract term and scope.
  3. The service-charge schedule, and how the charge is set and revised.
  4. The furniture and appliance inventory, with makes and the condition at delivery.
  5. The clear ceiling height of the unit and its finished area, stated on the same basis as the price.
  6. The cadastral code of the plot and of the unit, and a registry extract for each.
  7. The finish and package behind the quoted price: “fully furnished” or “with renovation”.
  8. The handover protocol, with the date the keys are released and the date the buyer’s right is registered.

Buying in Georgia in brief: the registry, the fees and signing from abroad

Ownership of an apartment in Georgia rests on the Public Registry. Article 183 of the Civil Code of Georgia requires a written transaction and registration of the acquirer’s right, and Article 312 presumes that register entries are accurate until proved incorrect. That is why a registry extract is the first document a buyer can collect without the developer. The registry, NAPR, is a legal entity of public law under the Ministry of Justice, per its own page on the agency.

Photo of the double-height lobby with glazed facade

This explains the developer’s wording that the contract is registered with the Ministry of Justice.

NAPR publishes its fees. An extract costs GEL 20 within one working day, GEL 13 if ordered online, GEL 75 on the day of filing, and GEL 26 more for an English version, per the informational fees page. Registering a change in the right to immovable property costs GEL 150 in four working days, GEL 270 in one working day or GEL 350 on the day of filing, and confirming the parties’ signatures costs GEL 7, per the registration fees page.

At the National Bank of Georgia rate of USD 1 = GEL 2.5949 on 8 November 2026, GEL 150 is about USD 58 and GEL 350 about USD 135 (calculated). The NAPR smart-contract service page says that immovable property rights can be registered online after booking a virtual meeting.

A buyer who signs from abroad needs a foreign power of attorney or similar paper to be recognised. Georgia joined the Hague Apostille Convention by accession on 21 August 2006, and the treaty took effect there on 14 May 2007, as the HCCH status table records. The guides on buying property in Georgia from abroad and how to buy property in Georgia describe the order of steps in more detail.

Foreign ownership limits concern agricultural land: under Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership, agricultural land may be owned by the state, municipalities, citizens and certain Georgian entities. An apartment is not agricultural land, but the developer’s page says nothing about who owns the plot. The extract shows the owner of the land and whether a mortgage or other burden is registered.

Taxes, residence and financing for a foreign buyer

Taxes come first, because they depend on what the buyer does after completion. The English text of the Tax Code of Georgia taxes an individual’s real estate, including unfinished construction, under Article 201.

Photo of an apartment living room with sea view window

Article 202(5) sets the rate for an individual at not less than 0.8% and not more than 1% of the market value at the end of the previous year, and Article 206(1)(a) exempts the property of a natural person whose family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, about USD 38,500 at the rate above (calculated). The return is due by 1 November (Article 205(12)).

The Revenue Service publishes a 2026 property tax calculator for individuals, in Georgian. How the return is filed is covered in the guide on property tax in Georgia.

Rental income and a later sale have rules of their own. Under Article 81(2), a natural person who lets residential space for residential purposes and claims no deductions pays 5% of the income. A fixed regime for short-stay letting of owned living space, GEL 10 per m² per month on application, runs until 1 January 2028 under Article 309, and it has conditions, including a ceiling on turnover.

This guide makes no statement about rental income from the building, and the guide on short-term rental in Batumi explains the provision. On a sale, Article 81(3) taxes the surplus at 5%, and Article 82(1)(f.a) exempts the surplus on a residential apartment owned for more than two years.

Residence follows. The Public Service Development Agency’s residence permits page says a short-term residence permit goes to an alien who holds title to immovable property, other than agricultural land, with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, as set by a certified assessor of an accredited body. The permit extends to a spouse and children, and the fee is GEL 300, 450 or 600 by processing time.

The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons states the same figure in Articles 7 and 15. A separate investment residence permit applies to property valued above USD 300,000 equivalent.

At USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, USD 150,000 equals GEL 389,235. The project page’s studio price of USD 151,200 is USD 1,200 above USD 150,000, and the calculator’s studio range of USD 115,000 to 138,000 is below it. The test uses an assessor’s market value and not a contract price, so neither figure decides the question. The developer’s page quotes a USD 150,000 figure as a residence-permit amount, and the official wording above is the reference.

For the application steps, see the guide on the residence permit in Georgia.

Mortgage terms are not published by the developer for this project. On the National Bank of Georgia’s PTI and LTV page, the loan-to-value ceiling is 90% for loans in lari and 70% for loans in foreign currency. Payment-to-income limits depend on monthly net income: for income below GEL 1,500, 25% on lari loans and 20% on foreign-currency loans, and for GEL 1,500 or more, 50% and 30%, the lower foreign-currency figures applying unless the income is in the same currency.

Whether a bank lends against an unfinished unit to a non-resident is the bank’s policy, and the guide on mortgage in Georgia for foreigners covers the practice.

What to prepare when reserving

The purchase steps printed by the developer and the registry rules call for the same papers, and a buyer can gather them before paying anything.

  1. The reservation form and the preliminary purchase agreement, stating the unit, its area on the same basis as the price, its finish and the handover date.
  2. The payment schedule with amounts, dates and currency for each instalment, including the payment dated January 2028.
  3. A registry extract for the land plot, then one for the unit once its right is registered.
  4. Written escrow or payment-account details for each payment.
  5. The full legal name and registration details of the contracting entity (the developer’s site shows the NEXT brand, and it does not name the contracting entity).
  6. The written scope of the Wyndham wording and of the hotel-style services, with the service-charge schedule.
  7. The furnishing specification and inventory named in the contract, and the unit’s ceiling height.
  8. For a buyer signing abroad, a power of attorney or other foreign paper that carries an apostille.

How Wyndham Residence Gonio compares with the other NEXT listings

The table lists all 13 NEXT projects on this site as the developer’s own project pages publish them. Wyndham Residence Gonio is one of two NEXT buildings on the Gonio coast; the other is Radisson Blu Apartments Gonio. Each price is the developer’s “from” figure for the unit type named, with the finish the page states, so the rows do not share one basis.

Among the 13 rows, USD 151,200 is the eighth lowest starting price: seven are lower and five are higher (calculated). It sits within USD 2,000 of the two nearest figures, USD 149,500 for the other Gonio building and USD 153,120 for NEU Tbilisi. The rows use different finish labels (fully furnished, with renovation, white box) and different unit types, so the starting prices cannot be ranked like for like.

On dates, December 2026 is the earliest handover that has not passed, followed by May 2027 for the other Gonio building and September 2027 for Tbilisi DownTown.

For context, the Tbilisi project Mira Verde Tbilisi is a different product in a different city, and the two Wyndham Grand pages named in Section 4 describe differently named projects. None of these pages is better or worse than another, and each publishes its own basis for status and price. The Georgia country page, the Batumi city page and the guide on off-plan property in Batumi list the rest of the Georgian portfolio.

NEXT (developer)

This section uses only what the developer’s own pages state. NEXT presents itself, on its About page, as an international developer from Georgia, founded by Kakha Devadze in Batumi. Its first project was NEXT Orange, and the company history begins in 2018 with NEXT Apartments, NEXT Green and NEXT White. The 2020 entry records the launch of NEXT Hotels, calls Wyndham Residences the company’s first global hotel brand partnership and adds the start of Villa Park.

The history then lists Radisson Blu Residences and NEXT Collection in 2021, NEXT Address, NEXT Coral and NEXT Gardens in 2022, NEXT Amani in Kenya in 2023, and NEXT Oriental and Villa Perla in Spain in 2024. The site names Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Spain and Zanzibar as its markets. The home page states about 8 years in real estate development, and the site lists offices in Batumi, Tbilisi, Dubai and Warsaw, with a presence at Tatu City in Kenya.

The project menu also lists NEXT Villa Park, NEXT Apartments, NEXT White and NEXT Green, and the pages publish no count of delivered units. The 13 NEXT projects on this site, with their stated status, are in Section 7. This guide takes no view on the developer’s record beyond what its pages state.

Frequently asked questions

What is Wyndham Residence Gonio?

Wyndham Residence Gonio is a complex of 576 apartments in Gonio, on the Adjara coast south of Batumi, sold by the developer NEXT under Wyndham wording. The page offers studios, one-bedroom units, a Front Lux one-bedroom type and two duplexes, all described as fully furnished, with a handover stated for December 2026. The page prints no address, no map pin and no operator company, so the facts that matter for a particular unit come from the sale documents and a registry extract.

Where is the building, and how far is Batumi?

The developer places it in Gonio, on the beach, 15 minutes from the Batumi city centre and 5 minutes from the Turkish border, and does not say whether those minutes assume a car. A guide on this site, using road routing on 27 October 2026, gives 12.8 km and 16 minutes from central Batumi to the Gonio settlement. The page prints no address, so a distance to the building itself cannot be measured from published data.

What prices does the developer publish for Wyndham Residence Gonio?

The project page prints a studio from USD 151,200 for 42 m², a one-bedroom from USD 176,649 for 48.5 m² and a Front Lux one-bedroom from USD 261,443 for 57.4 m², all labelled fully furnished. Each card also prints an upper price with an upper size. The home-page calculator prints lower studio figures, USD 115,000 to 138,000, marked “with renovation”. Section 2 sets the two out; the price of a specific unit comes from the sale agreement.

When is the handover, and what is the payment dated January 2028?

The page states a handover in December 2026 and, in the payment tiles, 40% “in January 2028”, which falls 13 months later (calculated). The page does not say whether the January 2028 payment is due before or after key release or registration of title. Because the handover date is weeks away, the handover status and the dates of each payment should be confirmed in writing before any payment.

How does the payment plan work?

The page prints 10% as a first payment, 50% “in installments” and 40% in January 2028, which add up to 100% (calculated). It describes the payments as monthly or quarterly, and the site’s instalment note says 0% is available from 12 up to 45 months depending on project and handover date. For a studio at USD 151,200 the three parts are USD 15,120, 75,600 and 60,480 (calculated).

The page does not give the instalment period, and a home-page question mentions 26 months without tying it to this project. The schedule belongs in the agreement.

Why do the home-page calculator and the project page show different studio prices?

The calculator prints USD 115,000 to 138,000 for a studio of 31.63 to 43.3 m² and is marked “*Price with renovation”. The project page prints USD 151,200 for a 42 m² studio and says “Fully furnished”. The page price is 9.6% above the top of the calculator range (calculated). The pages do not explain the difference or say whether the finish is the same, so the price, area and finish of the unit should be confirmed in writing.

Is Wyndham Residence Gonio the same as the Wyndham Grand Residences projects?

The pages describe differently named projects. NEXT uses “Wyndham Residences”, prints 576 apartments and names no developer entity or operator. The Wyndham Grand listings on this site, such as Wyndham Grand Residences Batumi Gonio Aqua and Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio Family Club, use “Wyndham Grand”, name European Village LLC as developer and give different unit counts and floors. The NEXT page prints no address, so a registry extract for the plot confirms which land is meant. This guide draws no legal conclusion.

May a non-citizen own an apartment in Georgia?

The foreign-ownership limit in the sources read for this guide concerns agricultural land: Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership lists who may own it, and an apartment is not agricultural land. For an apartment, Article 183 of the Civil Code requires a written transaction and registration of the acquirer’s right in the Public Registry. A buyer signing abroad needs foreign papers carrying an apostille, as Georgia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention.

Section 5 gives the registry’s fees.

Can a purchase here support a residence-permit application?

The rule is set by the Public Service Development Agency: property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, as set by a certified assessor. The page’s studio price of USD 151,200 is above that figure and the calculator’s studio range is below it, but the test uses the assessor’s value, not the contract price. At USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, USD 150,000 is GEL 389,235. The permit is not granted by the purchase itself.

Which taxes can an owner face, and how is ownership registered?

For an individual, the Tax Code sets property tax at 0.8% to 1% of market value, with an exemption where family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, and 5% on residential rent if no deductions are claimed. A sale surplus is taxed at 5% and exempt after two years of ownership of an apartment. Registration costs GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on speed, per NAPR. Section 6 gives the articles.
