Cross-Border NGO Operations — Four Compliance Anchors
The operation of a foreign non-commercial legal entity in Georgia rests on four legal anchors: the registration of a branch or representation (Article 28), the form of state control over activity (Article 33), the discipline of asset disposals (Article 36) and the exit — liquidation rules (Article 38). Unlike a number of other jurisdictions, Georgia has no separate foreign-funding notification law and no foreign-agent register — setting expectations precisely is this page's first task. Below, the four anchors are explained as they work in the reality of international operations.
