Georgia vs Armenia: neither has a nomad visa
Guides still list Georgia and Armenia as ‘nomad visas.’ Our rows do not. Georgia is a long visa-free stay with no programme. Armenia’s practical remote path is temporary residence on entrepreneur grounds, not a dedicated digital nomad category.
At a glance
Georgia permanent residence: Indirect (high). Armenia: Direct (low).
| Georgia | Armenia | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | No nomad visa | No nomad visa |
| Income | — | — |
| Savings | None required | None required |
| First stay | 365 days visa-free | 1 year, renewable |
| Permanent residence | Indirect (high) | Direct (low) |
| Schengen | No | No |
Income and savings stay on the country pages, with sources and grades. This table is rebuilt from those rows when the site builds.
The short answer
Neither country has an active digital nomad visa in this dataset. Georgia is the long visa-free stay story. Armenia is a temporary-residence story if you can use the private-entrepreneur ground. Do not plan as if either row were Portugal or Croatia.
Side by side
| Georgia | Armenia | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | No programme | No programme |
| What people actually use | Up to 365 days visa-free (where the ordinance applies) | Temporary residence (private entrepreneur) and related grounds |
| Income test | None (there is no DNV) | None as a DNV; entrepreneur grounds have their own rules |
| PR | Indirect / long ordinary routes — not from a nomad permit | Conditional PR grounds; graded low until primary statute work is done |
Confidence on Georgia’s visa-free claim is low in the row because the ordinance text could not be fetched cleanly — treat the country page note as the bound, not a blog’s “one year free” slogan.
Who each fits
- Georgia: short-to-medium stays without a dedicated remote-work permit, accepting that visa-free time does not buy PR credit.
- Armenia: people willing to use ordinary residence categories and verify MFA/migration paperwork themselves.

The rows behind this
Every figure this post relies on lives on a country page with its source and its confidence grade beside it. That is where it gets corrected, and where it stays current after the post stops being news.
