Buying remotely. How to buy in Georgia with a power of attorney.
In short
You can buy an apartment in Georgia without flying there. You give a person on the ground a power of attorney, often a lawyer. The power of attorney is notarised in your country, apostilled and translated into Georgian in Georgia. Your representative can then handle the contract and registration for you.
How it worksGermany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and the US are members of the Apostille Convention, as is Georgia.

How a remote purchase usually works.

Apostille and translation
Apostille from the competent authority, then translation into Georgian, certified in Georgia.

Pay yourself
Transfer the price directly to the developer yourself where possible, not through the representative.
