The realistic answer
A passport opens the conversation—not automatically the account.
Georgian banks apply customer due diligence and ongoing transaction monitoring. A well-organized application explains who you are, why Georgia is relevant and how the account will be used.
We match suitable cases to current bank pathways, prepare the KYC story, coordinate with designated banking contacts where available and support the applicant through questions. We do not bypass compliance or conceal facts.
Dedicated support for expats
A consistent contact
through the onboarding.
For suitable applications, our team coordinates with designated relationship contacts or banking coordinators experienced with international clients. This can reduce lost context and language friction.
- Pre-screen before the appointment or remote submission
- Organized document and KYC narrative
- Coordination of bank questions and follow-up
- Help understanding activation and online-banking steps
Independence matters: banking contacts remain employees/representatives of their institutions. They cannot waive compliance rules, and TBILISI EXPAT LLC is not a bank or payment institution.

Banking FAQ
What applicants should know.
Can every foreigner open a Georgian personal account?+
No. Georgian banks accept foreign customers subject to their own risk appetite and KYC review. Citizenship, residence, occupation, tax residence, source of funds and intended transactions can affect the result.
Can I open a SOLO account?+
SOLO is Bank of Georgia’s premium-banking proposition. Eligibility, product access and onboarding remain subject to Bank of Georgia’s current criteria and approval. We can help prepare and coordinate; we cannot promise SOLO status.
Is remote personal opening possible?+
A remote route may be possible for suitable applicants through the bank’s accepted identification, mandate and document process. Availability changes by bank, nationality and risk profile, and may still require originals, video identification or a later visit.
What currencies are normally available?+
Major Georgian banks commonly offer GEL, USD and EUR accounts, with cards and online/mobile banking. Exact tariffs, transfer access and product features must be checked in the bank’s current terms.
Do you guarantee approval?+
No. Our fee covers preparation and coordination, not an account-opening result. The bank may ask questions, request more evidence, limit products or decline without providing a detailed reason.
