WhatsApp quoteMany of our customers add a Georgia entity to their UAE structure because Georgia suits IT and trading business owners who want a European-time-zone entity alongside their UAE company. As a rule, the tax position in Georgia is clear: corporate tax is charged only when profits are distributed (Estonian model) at 15%, with Virtual Zone IT companies exempt on foreign income. From day one, french nationals are a community of around 30,000 residents with strong presence in luxury, hospitality, aviation and energy, so the Georgia authority, the banks and the immigration officers see French applications every day and process them without hesitation. French brands and groups have a major footprint in the UAE, from Louvre Abu Dhabi to the Sorbonne campus, which gives French entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Georgia licence is issued.
Why Georgia

For French nationals, the practical advantages of Georgia are the ease of travel between France and the UAE, English is used for business, and French-speaking advisers are easy to find in Dubai, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.

Frequently asked questions
How does Georgia compare with a UAE free zone?
From day one, each serves different markets. GoldenKey typically recommends the UAE as the operating base and Georgia where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
What are the annual obligations for a Georgia company?
Annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Can my UAE company own the Georgia company?
Absolutely. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
Can a French citizen own 100% of a company in Georgia?
Yes. French nationals can own the full share capital of a Georgia company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do French nationals need a UAE visa before applying for Georgia?
No. You can apply for the licence from France with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
