Registration of Foreign Employees
Employing foreign nationals in Georgia requires adherence to specific registration procedures to ensure compliance with local labor and migration regulations. Proper registration safeguards both employers and employees under Georgian law.
Who Must Register Foreign Employees?
All Georgian entities—including Individual Entrepreneurs (IEs), Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), and branches of foreign companies—are obligated to register foreign nationals they employ. This applies to both short-term and long-term employment, regardless of the employee's current residency status in Georgia.
Registration Authorities
The registration process involves multiple authorities:
- Revenue Service (RS.ge): Employers must register foreign employees for tax purposes, ensuring proper income reporting and tax compliance.
- Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia: As of September 1, 2023, employers are required to register foreign employees in the Ministry's unified database. This registration is crucial for the issuance or extension of work residence permits and overall legal employment status in Georgia.
Failure to comply with these registration requirements may result in administrative penalties and affect the legal standing of both the employer and the foreign employee.
Why Is Registration Important?
- Ensures legal employment status for foreign nationals in Georgia.
- Facilitates the issuance and renewal of work residence permits.
- Ensures compliance with Georgian tax and labor laws.
- Protects employers from potential fines and legal issues.
