Can international travelers stay in Batumi, Georgia on repeated visa runs by leaving after 365 days and re-entering for a new 1-year stay?

Based on the chat, people do use visa runs to stay in Batumi: after the allowed 365 days in Georgia, they exit the country and on re-entry receive a fresh stay period of up to 365 days.

The chat also mentions that even a very short exit can count as a visa run: the idea is to leave Georgia briefly, even for a few hours, and then return to start a new year of stay.

A separate point in the discussion is tax residency: even if you stay using visa runs, you may still become a Georgian tax resident if you are physically present in the country for more than 183 days in any continuous 12-month period ending in that tax year.

Chat participants warn that a visa run is not a 100% guarantee: the final decision is still made by border control, and in some cases re-entry can be refused.
