Buying in Batumi Without Travelling from Israel
Reservation, contract, NAPR registration and handover checks can all be coordinated remotely, through a power of attorney where needed. Travel details are a question for the airlines and the airport.
Yes, most of a Batumi purchase can be handled without travelling from Israel. Reservation, contract review, registration follow-up and handover checks are coordinated remotely by your adviser and, where a document needs to be signed in person, by a power of attorney confirmed case by case with a local lawyer.
What happens without you present
Once you choose a unit, the developer issues a reservation document and then a sale contract. Orven reviews both with you by video call and relays any questions to the developer in English. Payments follow the schedule set out in the contract, made by international bank transfer, with your bank handling any documentation and currency conversion on its side. None of these steps inherently requires your physical presence in Batumi.
Where a power of attorney comes in
Some steps, signing the sale contract itself, or completing registration paperwork, can be handled through a power of attorney rather than in person. The exact scope of what a power of attorney can cover for a Georgian purchase, and the form it needs to take, is confirmed with a local Georgian lawyer rather than assumed from a Dubai equivalent; Georgian and UAE requirements for this kind of document are not the same, and treating them as interchangeable is a common mistake.
Registration through NAPR
Property rights are registered with Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) through a Public Service Hall, at official fees of GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on processing speed. This step can be initiated by your lawyer acting under a power of attorney, with your adviser following up on the timeline and confirming once the title is registered in your name.
Handover checks
When the project reaches delivery, a handover inspection confirms the unit matches what was contracted, whether that means a specific finish level, furnishing package, or the agreed layout. Where you cannot attend the handover in person, your lawyer or a representative confirmed by your adviser can carry out this inspection on your behalf and report back before you sign off on acceptance.

What this does not cover
Travel to Georgia itself, including which airlines fly the route, their schedules and their current prices, is a question for the airlines directly and for Batumi International Airport (batumiairport.com); Orven does not quote flight details in its guides. If a specific step genuinely requires your presence, your adviser flags it rather than assuming everything can be delegated.
