Keep Czech experts focused on the technical assignment while local coordination is handled on the ground
Short technical missions often lose time on scheduling, local contacts, site access, documents, interpretation, transport and last-minute changes. A Tbilisi coordinator can prepare the visit, maintain communication with the Georgian counterpart and resolve practical issues while the expert team concentrates on delivery.
For longer assignments, the scope can extend to local suppliers, office or meeting arrangements, recurring project reporting and coordination with legal, tax or immigration specialists where the facts require it.
Typical support for an expert mission
- Georgian counterpart and stakeholder coordination before arrival
- Meeting, site-visit and local travel schedule
- Interpreter / translation coordination where required
- Document exchange, invitations and practical mobilisation checklist
- Local supplier, venue, transport or service coordination
- On-the-ground problem solving and post-mission action follow-up
Prepare
Confirm people, sites, documents, access and local dependencies.
Coordinate
Keep the Georgian counterpart, expert team and schedule aligned.
Close actions
Track documents, technical responses and next steps after the visit.
Foreign project staff now require earlier immigration and work-right planning
Georgia’s labour-migration framework changed from 1 March 2026. For foreign labour immigrants and self-employed aliens, a formal right-to-work process applies, and the law links that right to follow-on D1 visa or work-residence steps in specified situations. Existing registered labour immigrants benefit from transitional provisions, but new assignments should be checked before travel and contracting.
A short business visit and productive work on site are not the same legal situation. The assignment should be classified correctly before mobilisation.
Site work needs more than flights and hotels
Engineering and installation teams may need invitations, access lists, inductions, local transport, tools, customs planning for equipment, accommodation near the site and secure communication with the Georgian counterparty. These details should be tied to the project schedule rather than arranged separately at the last minute.
Clarify who employs, pays and directs the expert
The Czech employer, Georgian customer, project company and local subcontractor may each have different obligations. Assignment letters, per diems, expense reimbursement, tax residence, permanent-establishment exposure, payroll and insurance should be reviewed where the project is material or repeated.
Define the local interface for permits, safety and acceptance
The Czech team should know who provides site permits, HSE coordination, translation, utilities, testing conditions, acceptance documents and local technical staff. For regulated installations, confirm whether local certification or licensed professionals are required.
A single Georgian coordination point reduces project friction
For longer projects, local support can coordinate schedules, suppliers, authorities, site access and documentation while the Czech team remains focused on technical delivery. The role should be documented and separated from any authority to change scope, price or contractual commitments.
