Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Monday instructed the Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze to facilitate a project legalising illegally constructed residential houses across the country. 

The Government Administration said the amnesty, set to involve individual residential houses built without construction documentation over the years, would affect up to a million citizens.

The Government meeting held earlier today noted citizens owning houses in rural areas or cities without construction documents would no longer be required to go through a “difficult and costly” legalisation procedure, along with the decision eliminating the practice of illegal residential space construction.

The Administration also said Bregadze would present the project for the amnesty to the Government in the “shortest period of time”.
