Tbilisi Digital Nomad Guide 2025: Top Tips & Local Insights
Are you thinking about living and working in Tbilisi as a digital nomad? This ebook is your all-in-one guide to making the most of Georgia’s vibrant capital as a remote worker.
Welcome to the second edition of the first-ever Tbilisi Digital Nomad Guide, updated for 2025 with the latest, most relevant information.
The first edition, launched in 2022, was created in collaboration with my friend and fellow travel writer, Emily Lush of Wander-Lush.org. The 2025 version is solely updated by myself, Baia.
Since we launched the first edition, Tbilisi has continued to evolve as a digital nomad destination, and this updated guide reflects changes over the past three years to help you settle in seamlessly.
Moving to a new city, especially one with a different language and bureaucracy, can be overwhelming, which is why we created this ebook initially.
With local insights and expat perspectives, it walks you through everything you need to know—from securing long-term accommodation and navigating the visa process to finding the best coworking spaces/cafes and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Inside this ebook, you’ll find answers to the most common questions digital nomads have when considering Tbilisi as their next home. Whether you’re wondering about the cost of living, visa extensions, safety, or the best areas to live in, this guide covers it all in an easy-to-follow format.
Over the past few years, Tbilisi has become one of the most welcoming destinations for remote workers. Fast, reliable internet, relatively affordable living costs, and a unique blend of old-world charm and modern conveniences make it a place where nomads can thrive.
Add to that a growing community of remote workers and entrepreneurs, and you have the perfect environment to work, explore, and enjoy life.
The Tbilisi Digital Nomad Guide is designed to help you hit the ground running.
