Требования
- The principal citizenship-relevant benefit of compatriot status is a fee concession, NOT eased eligibility: a compatriot residing abroad is privileged to pay service fees on concessional terms for filing an application to obtain Georgian citizenship as provided by ordinance of the Government of Georgia; the substantive naturalisation criteria of the Organic Law are unchanged by the status.

Правовая основа
Primary statute: Law of Georgia on Compatriots Residing Abroad and Diaspora Organisations. Operative 2011-01-01–present. Authority: Public Service Development Agency (PSDA) / Ministry of Justice (compatriot status).
Exceptions & edge cases
- Positive disconfirmation: compatriot/'Georgian-origin' status does NOT itself confer Georgian citizenship and does NOT create a descent or ancestry citizenship pathway. The Compatriots Law's grounds for refusal and termination are administrative (false data, state-security, return to Georgia to live), and the only nationality link is the Art 11 fee-concession privilege; there is no provision deeming a compatriot a citizen.
Примеры сценариев
Примеры сценариев приведены на английском языке.
Mariam Tsiklauri · age 35 · nationality: Brazilian (of Georgian origin, holds compatriot status)
Conditional
The principal citizenship-relevant benefit of compatriot status is a FEE CONCESSION, not eased eligibility (Art 11(1)(c) of the Compatriots Law): a compatriot may pay service fees on concessional terms for filing a citizenship application, as set by Government ordinance. The substantive naturalisation criteria of the Organic Law are UNCHANGED by the status - so she must still satisfy a genuine acquisition route (e.g. Art 12 ordinary naturalisation). Outcome conditional on meeting that underlying route; the status only discounts the fee.
Pavle Arsenidze · age 58 · nationality: Argentine (of Georgian-Caucasian linguistic origin)
Eligible
Compatriot status itself (NOT citizenship) is available under Art 4(1)(b) of the Compatriots Law to a citizen of another country who has a Georgian origin and/or whose native language belongs to the Georgian-Caucasian language group; benefits include visa-free entry up to 30 days (Art 11(1)(b)) and a fee concession on citizenship applications (Art 11(1)(c)). He is eligible for the compatriot STATUS (a sub-citizenship status), which is the proper scope of this route - it does not make him a Georgian citizen.
