British, EU and Russian nationals do not need a visa to visit Georgia for up to one year.

Passport validity requirements

If you’re visiting Georgia, your passport should be valid for the length of your visit.

Check with your travel provider to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Travel insurance

All visitors to Georgia must have adequate travel insurance to cover all healthcare needs during their visit. You may be asked for evidence of this, either by your airline at check-in or by immigration authorities when you arrive in Georgia. You may face difficulties if you do not have this evidence.

We recommend buying a SIM card from a MAGTI operator in Georgia.

You can also connect to the Internet in public places, but this is not always safe.

Due to the political situation, it is impossible to make purchases in Georgia using Russian bank cards. In this case, we recommend taking cash in advance (no more than $10,000) or using a money transfer service like KoronaPay.

Citizens of other countries can safely use their cards to make payments.
