Acquisition of Georgian citizenship by naturalisation is governed by Articles 12, 16, 22, 8 and 29 of the Organic Law of Georgia on Citizenship. This is the complete route for a person who does not have a Georgian-citizen parent: the law presents a system of requirements, grounds for refusal, the procedure for filing the application and the completion of the process — the citizen's oath. This page explains all of these together.
The requirements of ordinary naturalisation — Article 12
An adult person is granted Georgian citizenship by the ordinary procedure if the following requirements are satisfied: lawful continuous residence in Georgia for the last 10 years up to the day of filing the application; knowledge of the state language within the established limits; knowledge of the history of Georgia and the basic foundations of law within the established limits; and working in Georgia, and/or owning immovable property, or conducting entrepreneurial activity, or holding a share or stocks in a Georgian enterprise.
For a stateless person holding status in Georgia the residence period is reduced — to the last 5 years; for a refugee the work/property requirement does not apply; for a recipient of support — the language, history and law requirements; and a person with a firm impairment is released from the language and history-law checks.
