In today's global economy, accessing international talent provides a distinct competitive advantage. However, hiring foreign nationals in Georgia exists at the complex intersection of immigration and labor law. This landscape is becoming more regulated with upcoming legislative changes, particularly the draft amendments to the Law on Labor Migration, which are expected to introduce a more formalized system for obtaining the "right to work" for foreigners from 2026. Navigating this evolving framework requires specialized expertise. Legal Sandbox Georgia offers an integrated legal solution for the compliant and efficient employment of foreign workers, allowing you to focus on talent while we manage legal complexities.
Our primary role is to provide strategic counsel throughout the lifecycle of employing foreign nationals, ensuring your practices comply with both current and future Georgian immigration mandates and the Labor Code. Our lawyers are deeply versed in the proposed legislative changes and are already helping clients prepare for the new regulations. This includes advising on proper employment structures for expatriates, drafting employment contracts that account for immigration status, and ensuring foreign employees receive all their rights under local labor laws. The holistic approach of Legal Sandbox Georgia safeguards your organization from non-compliance risks.
Beyond strategic advice, Legal Sandbox Georgia provides comprehensive, hands-on support with the administrative processes required to bring foreign talent to Georgia. We guide both the employer and the employee through the complex procedures for securing the necessary right to work, visas, and residence permits. We manage the preparation and submission of all required documentation, liaise with government agencies, and work to streamline the application process, minimizing bureaucratic hurdles. Our goal is to make the entire immigration journey as smooth and predictable as possible for your new team member.
