Additionally, banks often assess the company’s connection to Georgia, which may be supported by documents such as:
Contracts with Georgian companies or clients
Office lease agreements or registered business premises

Evidence of ongoing or planned economic activity in Georgia
Banks reserve the right to request additional documents or clarifications in accordance with their internal compliance and risk assessment policies. Requirements may vary depending on:
