We also help with the paperwork and the move. Browse our wider agriculture hiring landscape across Europe to see how Georgia fits in.

Quick facts:

• Georgia has one of the world's oldest winemaking traditions.

• Hazelnuts and tea add further harvests.

• Entry rules are unusually simple for many nationalities.

• Georgians help but aren't needed for picking work.

• Entry-level farm work needs no training anywhere in Europe.

Why Georgia's Farms Are Hiring

Wine is the tradition Georgia is known for, with grape harvest running through the autumn across Kakheti and the valleys.

Hazelnuts along the western coast and tea in the subtropical west add further seasonal work.

Entry is unusually simple for many nationalities, which removes a barrier that slows most markets.

Two Ways to Work

Check whether your nationality can enter without a visa, because that changes the process entirely.

What Does a Farm Job in Georgia Involve?

Farm and food work splits into four areas. Here is how each one looks.

Picking and harvesting. Picking, cutting, and field work through the Georgia season. No training needed, and employers train you on arrival.

Growing under cover. Greenhouse and tunnel work in Georgia runs longer than field work, often year-round, in controlled conditions.

Animals and dairy. Livestock and dairy work in Georgia is year-round and needs people who are steady, reliable, and comfortable around animals.

Food production. Food plants in Georgia run year-round on shifts, with hygiene training provided on arrival.

Farm Roles in Demand in Georgia

• Grape picker: Kakheti and the valleys through the autumn wine harvest.

• Hazelnut picker: Western coastal regions across the late summer harvest.

• Tea picker: Subtropical western Georgia, a crop few European countries grow.

• Livestock and dairy worker: Year-round farm work in the mountains and valleys.

• Packing shed worker: Sorting and packing produce to retail standards across Georgia.

• Forklift driver: Moving pallets in Georgia packing sheds and food plants. A licence helps a great deal.

• Team leader: Running a picking or line crew on Georgia farms and in food plants.

Tea growing is unusual in this part of the world and gives Georgia a crop almost no European country has.

How Much You Can Earn

Georgian farm pay is below EU levels but reasonable locally, with low living costs. Rural farms often provide room and board.

Things Worth Knowing Before You Apply

• Entry rules are unusually simple for many nationalities.

• Tea is a crop few European countries grow.

• Living costs are low.

• Rural farms often provide room and board.

• Always get room and board terms and deductions in writing before you accept.

Skills and Experience You Need

These points apply to Georgian nationals and foreign applicants alike. Employers care about what you can do.

Starting (Picker, Farm Hand)

• No training needed. Employers train you on arrival.

• You are fit enough for long days on your feet, often outdoors.

• You work steadily, because picking is paid on what you get done.

Skilled (Machinery, Livestock, Food Line)

• One or more seasons of farm or food work you can describe

• A tractor or forklift licence, if you have one

• Basic understanding of hygiene rules, which employers explain on arrival

Supervisory (Team Leader, Farm Manager)

• Two or more years, including running a picking or line team

• You can keep daily records and hit a target without being watched.

• Enough of the local language for safety briefings and instructions

Georgian is helpful but not needed for picking work. It helps a great deal for team leader roles and life outside the job.

No training is needed for picking or food line work. A tractor or forklift licence pays more.

EU Helpers is not a government body. We do not issue work permits or residence permits. We help you get your papers ready. This country is not in the EU, so it has its own permit rules. The authorities always make the final decision.
