🏦 Mortgage in Georgia for Foreigners: What Matters in 2025
Foreign buyers actively purchase property in Georgia — especially in Batumi and Tbilisi. In 2025, mortgages from Georgian banks remain available to both residents and non-residents. The process takes just a few business days, but there are details worth knowing in advance.
✅ Who Can Get a Mortgage
- A mortgage can be obtained by both residents and non-residents of Georgia.
- Proof of income and a stable credit history are an advantage, but not mandatory.
- Income can be earned in Georgia or abroad — banks do not differentiate.
- A residence permit (residency) is not required.
📄 Required Documents
To apply for a mortgage, prepare the following:
- Passport
- Bank statement for the last 6 months
- Proof of income (employment contract, business/sole proprietor registration, income letter)
👉 Important: the bank conducts the property valuation itself and for free. 👉 For the application, it’s enough to provide the cadastral code of the property. 👉 A contract with a developer or an agent is not required.
💰 Loan Currency and Terms
- Mortgages are available in GEL, USD, and EUR.
- Rates depend on currency and bank:
- from 6.5% in EUR
- from 7.5% in USD
- from 11% in GEL
Down payment: 30–40% of the bank’s valuation + the difference between the purchase price and the valuation.
Example: If the property price is $110,000 and the bank valuation is $100,000, then with a 30% down payment you pay:
- $30,000 (30% of $100,000)
- $10,000 (difference between valuation and purchase price)
= $40,000 initial payment, loan amount = $70,000.
Mortgage term: up to 10 years.
⏱ Timing
The full process takes 3–5 business days if the documents are prepared correctly.
🏡 Buyer Tips
- Mortgages are not issued for properties under construction — only for completed and registered units.
- There are no legal risks specific to foreigners: all transactions are registered in the Public Registry.
- Currency risk depends only on the loan currency vs. your income currency.
📊 Early Payments
- Most banks charge a small early-repayment fee (0.5–1% of the outstanding principal).
- You can also prepay several months in advance without extra fees. This allows you to either:
- reduce the principal, or
- shorten the loan term.
👩💼 Why Work Through an Agent
Applying via a real estate agency significantly increases approval chances:
- We pre-check all documents.
- We select a bank with optimal terms.
- We reduce the risk of rejection: if a bank has already declined your direct application, getting approval later is very difficult.
📌 Conclusion
In 2025, a mortgage in Georgia remains one of the most convenient ways to purchase a home for both foreigners and residents: minimal paperwork, fast approval, and transparent conditions.
