What's Happening in Tbilisi

Tbilisi has quietly become one of Europe's most exciting cities for digital nomads and expats. Visa-free for 95+ nationalities, a 1% freelancer tax, $500–800/month living costs, and an IT sector that grew 12x since 2020. The community is here — they just need a better way to find each other.

The Expat Community in Tbilisi

Tbilisi's expat community has exploded since 2020. The "Expats in Tbilisi" Facebook group alone has over 50,000 members — but scrolling through Facebook posts isn't the best way to actually meet people. Most expats and digital nomads find their real social circle through in-person meetups: co-working sessions at Terminal and LOKAL, padel at Lisi Lake, weekend hikes, and spontaneous coffee runs at Fabrika.

Jamly puts all of this on a live map. Instead of posting "anyone free for coffee?" in a group chat and hoping someone replies, you open Jamly, see what's happening nearby right now, and join with one tap.

Why Tbilisi?

Digital Nomad Hub

One of the top destinations for remote workers globally. 365-day visa-free access, 1% freelancer tax, fast internet, and IT companies that grew from 1,971 to 24,117 between 2020–2024.

50,000+ Expats and Growing

One of the largest international communities in the Caucasus. Whether you just arrived or have been here for years, there are always new people to meet — you just need a better way to find them.

Amazing Culture

Georgian cuisine, a booming art scene, ancient history, and nightlife that rivals Berlin. There's always something to explore and someone to explore it with.
