In 2025, Georgia experienced a net migration gain, marking a significant change after years of population outflow. The country saw 131,501 immigrants arrive, while 114,374 people left, resulting in a positive migration balance of 17,127.

The data indicates a reversal in trends among Georgian citizens, with more returning than emigrating, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

In 2025, 62,073 Georgian nationals returned to the country, compared to 58,799 who left, producing a net gain of 3,274 citizens. This contrasts with the broader pattern observed over the past decade: between 2015 and 2025, Georgia experienced a cumulative net loss of 240,428 citizens, with emigration peaking in 2023 at a net outflow of 73,600.

Foreign migration patterns also contributed to the overall positive balance. Among Russian citizens, 20,139 individuals immigrated to Georgia in 2025, while 19,226 departed, resulting in a net increase of 913 long-term residents.

Migration from Ukraine showed a stronger upward trend. In total, 6,937 Ukrainians arrived and 3,658 left the country, creating a net gain of 3,279. Indian nationals also contributed to population growth, with 5,685 arrivals and 4,456 departures, leading to a net increase of 1,229 residents.
