From March 1, amendments to Georgia’s Law on Labor Migration will enter into force
In Georgia, amendments have been introduced to the Law on Labor Migration, aimed at combating illegal labor migration and protecting and developing the country’s labor market.
Under the new regulations, effective from March 1, the lawful employment of a foreign national requires the conclusion of an employment contract, the acquisition of the right to engage in labor activity, and the possession of a valid residence permit or a D1 category visa.
The amendments regulate issues related to the employment of labor immigrants by local employers, as well as the conditions under which self-employed foreign nationals may carry out labor or entrepreneurial activities. They also define the rules governing remunerated labor activities performed by labor immigrants and self-employed foreigners.
These changes are designed to safeguard the national labor market and ensure greater transparency in labor migration processes.
