What’s new

Every week we write down what we did on doberi: what is new, what got easier and which bugs we fixed. On Mondays the week’s summary also goes to our Telegram channel (in Russian).

November 9 – 15

New

  • Three more guides: the Sarpi border, Georgian driving licences and Georgian citizenship. They cover getting from Batumi to Sarpi and into Turkey, passing the driving test or exchanging your licence, and who can get citizenship, after how many years and with which test.

Improved

  • Events with several dates now have their own ticket link for each date. If tickets for the evening concert are sold separately, the “Tickets” button for that date takes you straight there.

Fixed

  • We corrected the visa-free guide. We removed “in practice the year starts again after a new entry”: neither the law nor Resolution No. 255 says so. It is safest to count the year from the date in your entry stamp.

November 2 – 8

New

  • Three more guides: Traffic fines and parking, Tbilisi metro and transport, and Notaries. They cover how to check and pay a fine, what parking costs in Tbilisi and Batumi, the 1 ₾ fare for 90 minutes and the Metromoney card, notary fees, certified translations and apostilles.
  • Guides now show fresh listings on their topic: tradespeople in the guide on finding a pro, cars and motorbikes in the car guides, flats in the housing guides — whenever there are at least three.
  • Three more guides: Car re-registration, Parcels from Russia, and Gudauri, Bakuriani and Goderdzi in winter. They cover fees and the online transfer card, ordering from Wildberries and Ozon, sending parcels with CDEK, the season opening on 20 December, ski passes and winter tyres.
  • Three more guides: Georgian Post, Upper Lars and Kutaisi Airport. They cover parcel prices from Tbilisi to Batumi and post office addresses, the documents and insurance you need to drive in from Russia, and buses and trains from Kutaisi Airport to Tbilisi and Batumi.
  • Three new guides: Tbilisi to Batumi train, Public Service Hall and Property tax in Georgia. They cover train and bus timetables and fares, Public Service Hall addresses and opening hours, the new GEL 100,000 threshold and the deadline to pay the 2026 tax — 16 November.
  • Companies and sole proprietors from other countries can now get “Company verified” too. Upload an extract or a certificate from your country’s registry — a moderator checks it, usually within a day, and the badge shows the country.

Improved

  • Guides about work now link to job listings on doberi. When a guide's section has too few listings for a set of cards yet, a link to the section appears instead.
  • The Georgian language guide now includes a course for foreigners in Batumi: a Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University programme of 600 hours over two semesters.
  • Pages open faster. Sections, listings, property, cars, events and company pages now load from a ready-made copy, and when an author edits or removes a listing, its page and section update right away.
  • New companies are asked right away where they work. After you choose “Company” in your profile, a short step opens — an office with an address on the map, visits to clients or online; you can skip it, and we’ll remind you once after 3 days.
  • We'll flag a price that looks like a typo. A flat for $299 instead of $299,000 no longer goes live: the form suggests a fix, and a published listing with such a price is hidden while its author has 3 days to check it.
  • Any employer can now post a vacancy. Verified companies get a gold badge and a higher place in results; others are marked “Employer not verified”.
  • Posting is shorter: after AI you only see what's still missing. Completed parts fold into a "✓ · Change" line, "Still to fill in: photos, price" sits at the top, and the "Are you human?" check runs while you type.
  • After posting, you can send your listing to Telegram, WhatsApp or Facebook in one tap. The Share button is also in My listings, and once a week the bot tells you how many times your listing was viewed.
  • Didn’t find what you were looking for? Subscribe in Telegram in one tap, without signing in on the site. Tap “Notify me when it appears” or the “Save search” bell, and the bot will send new listings itself.

Fixed

  • Cards on a narrow phone: a long label on the price in the other currency (“/ service”) moves to a new line as a whole and stays inside the card.
  • We updated the Moving guides. We removed sites with no visible owner and small classified boards, checked the figures against primary sources and gave the pension from the draft 2027 budget.
  • We corrected the guide to jobs in Tbilisi and Batumi for English speakers. We removed a site that collects vacancies from other job boards — the guide now lists Georgia’s main job sites.
  • Phone numbers in the moving guides no longer break across two lines on narrow screens.
  • We fixed the How to buy a car and Georgian Post guides. Online re-registration is only for buyers with Georgian citizenship or a residence permit and for companies registered in Georgia, while food in a parcel has its own allowance of up to 500 ₾ and 30 kg a day.
  • We fixed the Georgian Post and Kutaisi Airport guides. A personal parcel up to 300 ₾ and 30 kg comes in free of import duty and VAT (the VAT exemption runs until 1 January 2028), suburban train fares show their classes, and the shuttle runs exactly every 2 hours only from the airport.
  • We fixed prices in the entry insurance guide: one plan was showing another plan’s prices.

October 26 – November 1

New

  • New guide: Batumi districts. It has flat prices and rents by district, what is nearby and how to choose a district — in Russian, English and Georgian.
  • The vacancy page is now about the job: what you’ll do, who they’re looking for and what they offer, how hiring works, how many have applied and whether your CV fits. Apply with your CV in one tap — the employer sees how many points you match.
  • CVs now look like a person's profile: skills, past jobs, languages with levels and when they can start. Employers see at once how a person fits their job and can offer it in a couple of taps — the job seeker replies in the chat or taps “Not for me” in Telegram.
  • Jobs now has CVs. Looking for work? Post a CV with a couple of lines about yourself: AI fills in the fields, employers message you in the chat, and your phone stays hidden. Hiring? Open the CVs tab and message someone who fits.
  • New vacancies in Telegram with one tap. Tap “Send me new vacancies” in Jobs: the bot asks for your number once, creates an account and subscribes you — no need to go back to the site.
  • When you post real estate, the street and house number are now separate fields. Suggestions know streets, houses, residential complexes and places in Russian, English and Georgian, and the house number puts the pin right on the building.
  • Authors get the address from their own listing text. One tap confirms it, and buyers see what’s nearby: the sea, shops, schools.
  • When your dobriki are confirmed for the first time, you’ll get a message in Telegram or by email. And when you sign in to post your first listing, you’ll see that it earns +150 dobriki.
  • Disagree with a rejection? Press “I disagree — pass it to a moderator”: during the day we’ll look within 4 hours, in the evening and at night — by 13:00.
  • Motorbikes and scooters are now in “Cars”. A switch at the top shows “All · Cars · Motorbikes”, and motorbikes have their own filters: engine size in cm³ and “No licence needed”.
  • The home page has its own “Cars” block: cars and motorcycles with year, mileage and price in ₾ and $. “Latest listings” now shows only things.
  • Your draft won't be forgotten: if your listing didn't go to review after you logged in, we'll remind you an hour later in Telegram or by email — with a “Finish and publish” button. Don't need it? Tap “Don't remind me again”.
  • We now hide licence plates in car photos automatically: in the car and motorbike sections the plate is blurred on upload, before the listing goes live. Sellers see the photo without the plate right away.
  • “What’s nearby” for real estate listings in Batumi and Tbilisi. Shops, pharmacies, stops, schools and parks within a 5- and 10-minute walk, the metro and the sea in minutes — from the OpenStreetMap map; when posting, you see it as soon as you put the pin.
  • You can now upload a video tour of a property as a file. Up to 3 minutes: you can keep filling in the form while it uploads, and if the connection drops, the upload continues from where it stopped. The listing page gets a “Video tour” tab.
  • Real estate: posting rebuilt. First you choose the deal — sell, rent out long-term, daily or on zalog — and the form asks only what fits it: the address with a map pin, the district from the pin, a “What the tenant will see” summary and a video tour link.
  • Four new guides: where to post classifieds in Georgia, how to rent a flat by the day in Batumi, how to find a job and a tradesperson. The Batumi rental guide is updated with district prices for Q2 2026.
  • Company page: services and prices, opening hours, address on the map, website and social media, WhatsApp and Telegram buttons. Fill it in under “My profile” → “Company page”, free of charge.
  • A gold badge for verified companies. It sits next to the name on the company page and in listings — for companies verified with an extract from the Georgian registry.
  • A weekly “What’s new” digest. Subscribe and every Monday we’ll send to Telegram or email what appeared on the site, what we improved and what we fixed. Off by default, unsubscribe in one tap.
  • Dobriki for bug reports and ideas. A confirmed bug earns 100, 300 or 500 dobriki, an implemented idea — 300; companies too. A verified phone is needed.
  • We now reply to bug reports and ideas. The team’s reply comes where your notifications go, in the language of your report, and in the bot you can answer it.

Improved

  • The guide to entry insurance for Georgia is updated. It now has policy prices for a week, six months and a year, where to buy online and why it is better to buy before your flight.
  • Vacancies now show how far the metro is. The employer enters the work address — only moderators see it, and the vacancy page says, for example, “7 min walk from the Rustaveli metro station”.
  • Vacancies are now posted only by verified companies and sole proprietors with a logo — the registry extract check usually takes a minute, and the vacancy then goes live by itself. Company pages now have a “Vacancies” section with an “Apply” button.
  • The complex field when you post now also shows complexes that aren't on the map yet, with the developer next to the name — you place the pin yourself. Once two sellers pin such a complex in the same spot, it gets its own point. Latin names are found when typed in Russian too.
  • More residential complexes in suggestions — in Batumi, Kobuleti, Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Rustavi. The complex field when you post now finds complexes from developers' websites — Black Sea Towers, Archi Central Park and others — whether you type in Russian, English or Georgian.
  • A wrong section no longer hides your listing. If the description fits another section better, we move it and tell you where from and where to; while a moderator checks the section, the listing stays in search.
  • Street suggestions are more accurate: they understand a district in the query (“Vake Chavchavadze 30”), and if the street isn’t in the chosen city, we say so and show which city has it.
  • You can also describe a nearby place — for example, “near the Piazza”: we’ll suggest the spot and put the pin next to it, you only need to move it to the house.
  • You can search for flats by street, residential complex or place — for example, “Shartava”: we’ll show listings on that street and next to it.
  • When AI fills in a real estate listing, it finds the street, house and residential complex in your text and puts the pin on the map.
  • We now work out “What’s nearby” in Kobuleti, Kutaisi and Bakuriani too. If a listing has no address, we say so and show what’s nearby once the author adds it.
  • After you publish, you see how many dobriki you’ll get, when we’ll confirm them and how many you’ll have. And why they’re worth collecting: soon you’ll be able to use dobriki to bump and highlight listings and unlock new features. Plus how to get more.
  • A listing that lacks photos or a price is sent back for fixing instead of being deleted. The notification says what to add, and “Fix” opens the right fields straight away.
  • If a listing doesn’t pass the check, you now see exactly what’s wrong: “In the description: ‘write to @…’. Remove the username — there are buttons for contact”. You can remove it in one tap.
  • A wrong section is no longer a reason to reject: if one subcategory fits, we move the listing ourselves and publish it; if several fit, a moderator decides.
  • While the “Are you a robot?” check runs, you can see what’s happening: a progress bar of up to 15 seconds. If sending fails, you’ll see what to do — your draft is saved.
  • Publishing after you log in is easier: if your name, phone or a couple of fields are missing, the site asks for them in one “One last step” window — no hunting through the form.
  • On the home page, “Rentals” now shows only rentals, while flats, houses and land for sale have their own “For sale” block.
  • Listings are now always translated into the site’s other two languages — no need to pick languages when posting.
  • A car’s title is now built from its make, model and year: “Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TSI, 2017, 90,000 km”. Type the make any way you like — we save it the way the manufacturer writes it, and search finds the car under any spelling.
  • If a car’s main photo shows the interior or a document, we suggest a photo of the car from outside. You can enter the engine size in litres — “2.0”.
  • Posting from a link to a section now starts with a short screen. Write a couple of words or add photos — AI fills in the fields itself.
  • A confirmed email now gives you the “Email verified” badge instead of “Contacts not verified”. You can verify your phone with the Telegram bot — there’s a reminder in your account.
  • Batumi: 7 new districts, including Heroes Alley, in search and when posting. Real estate listings now show “Private realtor”, and there is a “No middlemen” filter.
  • A new “For business” page: what a company gets, who doberi is for and how to get started — plus an example company page.
  • The menu and home page now match the page language. In English — specialists who speak English and jobs without Georgian, in Georgian — the latest vacancies.
  • Hear about messages sooner. After posting, in the email and in “Messages” you can connect Telegram in one step — the notification arrives within a minute, not 5 minutes later by email.
  • Companies get verified faster. We check the extract against the NAPR registry automatically: if everything matches, the “Company verified” badge appears right away, with the legal name from the extract next to it, e.g. “IE Valerii Egorov”.

Fixed

  • Empty blocks are gone from the moving guides: no more “Documents · 0 of 0 ready”, “Sources · 0” or an “Add to my plan” button where there is nothing to add. The Tbilisi and Batumi district guides now say “What to keep in mind when choosing a district” instead of “lawyers disagree here”.
  • Vacancies are no longer held by mistake over the quota. We check the work permit quota only when the employer offers to arrange the permit, and only for couriers, taxi drivers and guides — construction, cafés and other jobs are not affected.
  • We fixed the vacancy and CV pages. “Shift work” now sits under “Employment” instead of “Contract”, similar vacancies show up even in a rare field, and a portrait used as the profile photo no longer appears in “Photos of work”.
  • Jobs is easier to use on a phone: “Newest first” is no longer cut off, the filter now says “Salary”, and the offer to post a CV stands out.
  • Prepayment, advance payments and deposits are no longer treated as a violation, and a description of your services and prices isn’t treated as advertising. This applies to both profiles and listings.
  • Addresses in real estate listings are now found even when typed in Russian. Suggestions are only in Georgia, one per building.
  • If a listing’s title is in a different language from its description, it is now translated into the listing’s language too. Brands and models in Latin letters stay as the author wrote them.
  • Listings without photos and a price are no longer published. The rule is the same for the site, the bot and spreadsheet import, and the bot asks for the address, floor and other required fields itself.
  • Example cars and flats no longer mention checks that never happened: no “inspection passed”, “Carfax report attached” or “documents are ready”.
  • Examples no longer say “verified” in link previews either. Example flats, complexes and profiles no longer claim “Verified seller” in the description for search engines and messengers, and example cars no longer show “VIN checked” or “Mileage matches”: nobody checked them.
  • Car titles without repeats: the engine size is no longer written twice when the trim starts with it.
  • Examples no longer show verification badges such as “Phone verified”, “Verified seller” or “Documents shown to the moderator”: nobody checked the examples. These badges now appear only on real sellers who were checked.
  • Your Telegram name no longer gets lost: if it is only emoji or symbols, we use your username.
  • Examples are now labelled everywhere. In Leisure and new builds every card says it is an example and the page has a banner on top; the example company page has an “Example” badge. Made-up ratings and checks no longer look real.
  • Prices are black and bold again. After the ₾ / $ switch some of them turned grey or small — on car and flat pages, in property and new-build cards, in company services and in Leisure. Fixed.
  • The ₾ / $ switch now changes every price on the site: real estate, cars, leisure, events and your account. We convert at the NBG rate; fees set in lari by law stay in lari, with “≈ $” next to them.
  • The Georgian translation of a listing no longer goes missing because of a couple of untranslated words: we redo it right away.
  • We removed “We hide licence plates in photos automatically” from car pages: plates aren’t hidden yet. If you don’t want to show yours, cover it in the photo yourself.
  • On company pages, the “Contact” card no longer covers the opening hours. The right column now scrolls with the page.
  • The English and Georgian versions of the guides no longer contain Russian words. Publication names are in Latin script, and search queries are translated.
  • Cards in Georgian no longer cut text off. The “Phone verified” badge switches to its short form in narrow cards, and the price in another currency wraps to a second line.
  • Listing translations no longer mix letters from two alphabets in one word. We redo such a translation and show the listing in the author’s language until then.
  • Company logos are no longer rejected by mistake. An abbreviation, translation or another spelling of your name is set right away, and disputed logos are checked by a person — usually within a day.

October 19 – 25

New

  • Dobriki for listings: 150 for your first, then 30 each, plus +20 for good photos and 80% completeness. For now we only award them — you'll be able to spend them later.
  • The editors now add events from theatres, clubs and organisers, based on their own sites — marked “Added by doberi editors” with a link to tickets. You can mark “Going” and get a reminder for them too.
  • Two new themes in the events listing — Theatre and Exhibitions. Organisers can pick them when adding an event.
  • You can now bump a listing to the top of search — free, once every 3 days. The “Bump up” button is in “My listings”, on the listing page and in the bot.
  • An outfit for your animal: a bow, glasses, a cap, headphones and more — in your profile, “Choose an avatar”.
  • Instead of initials, avatars now show an animal — you can pick your own in your profile. Your own photo still comes first.
  • A new What’s new page: what we did this week. On Mondays the week’s summary also goes to our Telegram channel (in Russian).
  • You can now suggest an idea in our Telegram bot too. When we make it, the bot will let you know.
  • Roundups of new listings in our Telegram channel @doberi_ge (in Russian): every day at 13:00 and 20:00, plus a weekly roundup of one section on Sundays.
  • A new About doberi page: who we are, what the site can do and where we are heading. The site footer now has Suggest an idea.
  • Found nothing? Subscribe to the search, and our Telegram bot will message you when a matching listing appears.
  • The site footer now links to our Telegram channel, Instagram, Facebook and Threads.
  • Six new guides: how to post a listing, how to sell things before a move, and what to check before buying used furniture, an iPhone, an Android phone or a laptop.

Improved

  • Listing completeness is now honest: dark photos, a 1 ₾ price and a short description lower it, and when posting you see what to add and how many percent it gives.
  • Posting the same listing a second time? We’ll tell you it already exists and offer to bump or fix the old one.
  • A dark or blurry photo is now flagged right away when you post, and a dark one can be brightened with one tap.
  • Account: “My profile” now comes first, and you can see your page as others do with a button inside it.
  • Animal avatars are now brighter and bigger.
  • You can write “message me on WhatsApp” in a listing — only the number, username or link itself is not allowed. The site will suggest turning on the WhatsApp or Telegram button.
  • Private sellers no longer need documents to verify their profile — a phone number is enough. We only ask companies and sole traders for documents.
  • Search understands everyday words and brand names in three languages: “айфон”, “აიფონი” and “iPhone” find the same listings.
  • Signing in with Telegram from Instagram, Threads and other apps: the bot tells you where to go back to finish, and from Telegram's own browser it brings you back with a button.
  • Sample listings are easy to spot: a clear label on the photo and next to the price, and you cannot message such a seller.
  • Before you press Publish, the site warns you if the listing has something the rules do not allow — no need to wait for moderation to reject it.
  • Posting from a phone is easier: just write what you are selling, and if you need to sign in, publishing continues right where you stopped.
  • The moving-sale section has a clearer Georgian name: “გაყიდვა გადასვლისას”.

Fixed

  • An event with a ticket or stream link now saves — before, the form returned an error.
  • On iPhone, photos in a draft were lost after signing in — fixed. The same happened in some in-app browsers.
  • The sign-in page promised a draft that did not exist — fixed.
