Side by side
| Portugal | Georgia | |
|---|---|---|
| Digital nomad visa | Digital Nomad Visa (D8) | Yes |
| Income requirement | ~EUR 3,680/mo (D8 digital nomad visa, ~4x minimum wage) | ~$2,000/mo (or ~$24,000 savings) via the Remotely from Georgia remote-work program; visa-free 365-day stay needs no income proof |
| Tax residency | Resident after 183 days or main home in PT; old NHR closed, narrow IFICI (NHR 2.0) successor. | Resident after 183 days in any rolling 12 months; 1% small-business regime up to GEL 500,000 turnover; foreign-source income exempt under territorial system, but work done physically in Georgia counts as Georgian-source |
| Cost of living | Moderate | Low |
| Currency | EUR | GEL |
| Healthcare | Foreigners on short visits rely on travel medical insurance or an EU GHIC/EHIC for medically necessary care, while residents register with Portugal's public health system (SNS). | Foreigners pay for treatment and cannot register for Georgia's national healthcare system, so comprehensive travel or health insurance is essential; private clinics in Tbilisi and Batumi are decent and inexpensive. |
| Driving | Visitors can generally drive on a valid foreign licence for short stays, and an International Driving Permit is recommended (and effectively required for some nationalities such as Indian licence holders). | A valid foreign licence is generally accepted for up to about 12 months from entry, after which an International Driving Permit alongside your licence or a Georgian licence is needed. |
