The Parliament considered the amendments to the Law on Labor Migration in the third reading, in an expedited manner, and supported them with 75 votes.

According to the draft law, the Georgian Law on Labor Migration will not apply to relations related to the employment of a foreigner in Georgia and the implementation of remunerated labor/entrepreneurial activities by him/her, if he/she: is a person with a valid special residence permit issued on the basis of a written initiative of a member of the Government of Georgia; carries out short-term professional activities in Georgia as determined by a decree of the Government of Georgia and unless otherwise provided for by the legislation of Georgia; carries out activities for the benefit of a public institution or an enterprise established with the share participation of the state; carries out labor activities completely remotely for a local employer and this activity does not require his/her entry into the territory of Georgia; The work activity/service provision is carried out for the benefit of a non-resident person and the work activity/service provision is related to the non-resident person's activity outside Georgia.

In addition, the amendments to the Law of Georgia on Labor Migration add a new norm, according to which a foreigner will have the right to carry out short-term professional activities in Georgia without the right to work and the relevant residence permit, if the said activity is carried out within the framework of a temporary visit, does not constitute long-term employment in the local labor market and is related to a specific short-term project, event or service.
