What do I need to know about living in Tbilisi?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Tbilisi, they said:

"Before retiring in Tbilisi, Georgia, expats should be aware of a few things. Georgia is a developing country and the standard of living is generally lower than in other developed countries. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the country’s legal and business systems and make sure they are complying with all the relevant laws. Additionally, expats should research and apply for all the relevant visas and other paperwork they may need ahead of time. Another important thing to be aware of is that Georgia has an unfamiliar climate and culture, so it will be important for expats to make sure they are prepared for this. Finally, expats should ensure that their health and medical insurance are up to date, as the medical care in Tbilisi may not be what they are used to," said one expat who made the move to Tbilisi, Georgia Rep.
