Kutaisi International is Wizz Air's Eastern-European base, with €15-30 flights to dozens of EU cities. The old town is small and walkable — Bagrati Cathedral and the Gelati monastery anchor the cultural draw. Pricing runs ~30% below Tbilisi; coworking is thin but cafés are workable.
Pathway
Long visa-free
Program
Georgia 1-year visa-free + Remotely from Georgia
Typical max stay
12 months
Georgia grants 365 days visa-free entry on arrival for ~95 countries including US/UK/EU/Canada — among the world's most generous tourist policies, and what most nomads actually use. The Remotely from Georgia program (launched 2020) adds formal DNV status with USD 2,000/mo income proof for those wanting documented residency rather than just stamps. Either path, no application from abroad required.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
