> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/news/immigration-lawyer-tbilisi-georgia

**The short answer.** You find an immigration lawyer in Tbilisi on legal.ge. Describe your case in the [Ask form](https://legal.ge/en/ask) and it reaches several verified immigration lawyers at once, or choose one from the [list of immigration lawyers](https://legal.ge/en/specialists?l1=migration-and-immigration-law-en) with their languages and fees. Most of them work in Tbilisi and all of them work in English. They handle residence permits, the right to work, citizenship, family reunification and appeals against refusals.

## What an immigration lawyer in Georgia does

-   Residence permits: work, study, family, investment and permanent residence; which application fits your case and what to file with it.
    
-   The right to work: which rules apply to you as an employee, as self-employed, or under an exemption.
    
-   Visas and stays: extending a stay, and what happens if you overstay.
    
-   Citizenship: by naturalisation and by ancestry.
    
-   Refusals and expulsion: appealing a refusal and representation where deadlines are short.
    

## What to check before you hire

-   The exact route: "a residence permit" is several different applications. Ask which one fits your facts before you pay for it.
    
-   Language: every lawyer on legal.ge who handles immigration works in English, and most also in Russian.
    
-   Representation: for an appeal or an expulsion case, check on the legal.ge profile whether the lawyer states Georgian Bar Association membership.
    
-   Fees: ask for the consultation fee and an estimate for the whole application. State fees are paid separately.
