entry-level work for expats in Georgia?

Yes I realise this is a naive post.

Does anyone accurately know if a non-Georgian speaking American can gainfully work anywhere in the Russian states (preferrably Georgia) besides/or in addition to teaching or tutoring english under the table?

I may have to leave the EU/Schengen states for 90 days as my Visa is expiring here in Switzerland and I might have an informal invitation near Georgia to volunteer part-time in exchange for bed/food, but without a work-permit.

Also, what is the immigration situation like (Re: the new Russian Federation 90/180 entry/exit enforcements)? What typically happens if someone overstays their 90 Visa in Georgia? And what happens if someone tries to re-enter Georgia too soon after they overstayed their last tourist Visa in Georgia?

Any accurate information is greatly appreciated.

I'm one of the few million white/middle-class+ so-called 1st-class American unjustly treated 'Citizens' who are without a Country to call home anymore. I'd actually rather try to start a family in a relatively 3rd-world Land before ever returning back to that truly Nazi-like developing 'place' still called the 'USA'.

Thank you.

You possibly would be able to find work either teaching English or at larger hotels and other business with large tourist public relations work. But why do you refer to Russian States of which Georgia is not one?!

Thanks a lot for your reply. But how much would a Hotel in Georgia pay for example (would it be enough to live on plus maybe even save a tiny bit of money to fly back to Europe every 3 months if I had to)?

I'm not sure what your question was Re: Russian states vs. Georgia. All I know so far that is was once part of the Soviet Union but now it has supposedly the World's fastest growing expat communities.

I just want to know if an American (who speaks no Georgian nor Russian) can easily survive there, and how hard it could be to find gainful employment (how long would it take the average naive foreigner to find enough work there to pay for rent and food).

Any further advice is greatly appreciated.

In response to your last question, to be honest, I do not believe any form of living or even visit would be easy here without being able to speak Georgian somewhat. I speak Georgian poorly, no Russian at all and I find many things difficult. I have been offered work teaching English, however, that is not my profession and teaching does not pay much here. I do not believe the salary you might be able to earn at the higher end hotels would allow for such savings as you mention. Perhaps just enough to comfortably get by here. I would not risk such a venture without some friends/colleagues' network.
