Georgia's Remotely from Georgia programme offers a 1-year permit to remote workers earning at least $2,000/month from abroad, with no application fee. Georgia already grants visa-free stays of up to 1 year to citizens of many countries (US, EU, UK, etc.), making this program most relevant to nationalities that would otherwise need a visa.
