Hiring Overseas Contractor With Visa In Georgia

Q: Can a US company hire a foreign contractor to work remotely?

Foreign remote contract workers don&#039;t require visas because they are based outside of the US. While these workers may have to come into the country occasionally to fulfill their contractual obligations, they shouldn&#039;t have any issues entering as long as they can provide proof that their stay will be temporary.
