“Housed” savings assume the employer provides accommodation; “self-paid” deducts typical shared rent of €200/mo. Net pay uses Georgia's typical take-home rate of about 80% of gross.

Work permit & visa

Work / residence permit (liberal rules, non-EU). Famously easy entry and stay rules for many nationalities; a tourism and IT-nomad scene, not the EU. Typical processing runs about 28 weeks once the employer-side steps are done. A formal English test such as IELTS is usually not required for these trades.

Indicative estimates, not a job offer. Salary, cost and savings figures are modelled from each occupation's rough EU average and a per-country wage index, and exclude employer-specific terms, exchange-rate swings and personal tax. Visa rules are summarised for general guidance. Always confirm pay and immigration rules with the official source or embassy, and never pay a fee for a job offer you have not verified.
