"Work from Georgia" is an innovative project developed by the Government of Georgia during the COVID Pandemic to stimulate and encourage the tourism industry. Our goal within the project is to attract even more affluent tourists from strategic countries, who will live in our country for a relatively long time and work remotely from Georgia. In a very short period of time, in about 1 month, we have received applications from 800 foreign citizens from 60 countries, who express a desire to come to Georgia and work remotely,''-said Mariam Kvrivishvili.
