Clear answers before you commit capital.
Practical answers for GCC investors, family offices, developers and buyers evaluating property, land, business setup, banking and residency in Georgia.
Can GCC nationals buy property in Georgia?
Foreign buyers can generally acquire apartments and many categories of non-agricultural real estate. Agricultural land and certain structures require case-specific legal review. Title, land classification, planning status and restrictions should be verified before commitment.
Which locations are most relevant for GCC investors?
Tbilisi and Batumi remain the main urban markets, while selected tourism destinations, logistics corridors and development zones can suit land, hospitality or appreciation strategies. The right location depends on income goals, holding period, personal use and development appetite.
Can Mountain View source off-market opportunities?
Yes. Depending on the mandate, we approach owners, developers and local networks for private and pre-market opportunities. Access is never guaranteed, and every opportunity still requires independent verification.
How does the buying process work?
We define your mandate, curate a shortlist, coordinate inspections, support commercial negotiation and arrange independent legal, technical, valuation and tax review. A licensed Georgian lawyer should confirm title and transaction documents before closing.
Can I buy remotely?
Many steps can be coordinated remotely, subject to valid powers of attorney, notarisation, translation, bank requirements and legal confirmation. We help organise the workflow with the appropriate Georgian specialists.
Can foreigners obtain a Georgian mortgage?
Some banks consider non-resident and international applicants, but eligibility, deposit, currency, collateral, income evidence, pricing and term vary significantly. Mountain View provides orientation and introductions; lending decisions are made solely by the bank.
Can you help open a bank account or access private banking?
We can prepare an onboarding checklist and introduce suitable banking teams. Account opening and service tier are subject to the bank’s KYC, source-of-funds, sanctions and risk assessment.
Does buying real estate automatically provide tax residency?
No. Property ownership and tax residency are separate matters. Tax-residency eligibility depends on the applicable Georgian rules and your personal circumstances. A qualified tax adviser should assess your case before any application or restructuring.
Can you register a Georgian company for me?
We coordinate company-registration support, legal address options, translation, tax registration, accounting setup and bank orientation through qualified local providers. Entity choice should be based on actual activity, ownership, tax and compliance needs.
What does an investment tour include?
Private transport, a market briefing, curated inspections, relevant stakeholder meetings, accommodation assistance and a post-tour action plan. Every itinerary is built around the investor’s brief and confirmed access.
How do you protect confidentiality?
We limit circulation of the mandate, share information on a need-to-know basis and avoid generic inventory distribution. Where appropriate, formal confidentiality documentation can be coordinated.
How is Mountain View compensated?
The engagement and fee structure depend on scope—sourcing, advisory, tour coordination, transaction support or retained local representation. Any seller or developer compensation relevant to your transaction should be disclosed before commitment.
Do you provide legal or tax advice directly?
No. Mountain View provides investment guidance, orientation and coordination. Formal legal, tax, valuation, accounting and regulated financial advice is delivered by appropriately qualified independent professionals.
