›Can Dominica passport holders enter Georgia?
Dominica passport holders do not need a visa to enter Georgia for short stays — which is a significant advantage. You can enter Georgia visa-free, apply for the digital nomad visa from within the country, and avoid the consulate process entirely if the program allows in-country conversion. Always confirm the current maximum stay allowed on entry before booking.
›Requirements for Dominica passport holders
The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Dominica citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
- Income: Not specified — proven via 3–6 months bank statements. No income requirement. Georgia grants visa-free stays of up to 365 days for most nationalities — no application needed.
- Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Georgia entities
- Health insurance: Health insurance is strongly recommended even if not formally required
- Clean background: Police clearance from Dominica (apostilled if required by Georgia)
- Valid passport: Dominica passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
- Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Georgia
Important: Documents not in Georgia's official language or English must be certified translated. Dominica applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Dominica.
›How Dominica citizens apply — step by step
- Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Dominica passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
- Authenticate documents. Check whether Georgia requires apostille stamps on Dominica-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
- Check entry requirements. Verify whether Dominica citizens can enter Georgia visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Georgia embassy website for current entry requirements for Dominica passport holders.
- Submit your application. Apply through the official Georgia government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
- Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Georgia.
›Tax treatment for Dominica digital nomad visa holders
Tax obligations for Dominica citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Georgia if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.
Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Dominica citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Dominica and Georgia.
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Dominica and Georgia tax law before committing to an extended stay.
›Common mistakes Dominica applicants make
Weak or inconsistent income documentation
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Georgia immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.
Missing apostille or translation requirements
Dominica applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Dominica-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.
Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel
Dominica passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Georgia before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Georgia embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
