How do you check the status of a residence permit application in Georgia?
Online checks, notifications and the Public Service Hall.
Short answer
You can check the status of a Georgian residence permit application online on the Public Service Development Agency website or the unified government services portal using the application number and passport details. You'll also be notified of the decision by phone or email as given in the application. If the status doesn't change for a long time, contact the Public Service Hall where you applied.
Why
- The application number is on the receipt given when you submit documents.
- Processing usually takes up to 30 days, faster for an extra fee.
- The finished residence card is collected in person at a Public Service Hall.
Details
Keep the receipt with your application number until you get a decision. If the agency requests more documents, respond on time, or the application may be refused.
Tip
Respond to any request for extra documents on time, or the application may be refused.
What may differ
Processing time depends on the permit type and whether you chose expedited review.
