Argentine passport holders can travel to Georgia without a visa and stay for up to 360 days per entry. This policy is in effect for 2026, making Georgia one of the most accessible countries for Argentines seeking a long-term stay or digital nomad base.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Georgia does not require 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay — your passport just needs to be valid for the entire time you're in the country. Airlines may still enforce the 6-month rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Georgia | Immigration officers at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — a bus ticket to Armenia or a flight out of Georgia works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Georgia does not publish a minimum amount, but having around 200 GEL (~$75) per day in cash or a credit card statement helps. Officers almost never check this for short stays. | Recommended |
No visa needed — 360 days free
Argentine passport holders get a full 360 days per entry with no visa, no fee, and no registration. This is one of the most generous visa-free policies in the world.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Georgia before the 360 days are up. If you want to stay longer, you can exit and re-enter (e.g., a quick trip to Armenia or Turkey) to reset the clock, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back entries.
No, there is no registration requirement for Argentine passport holders staying up to 360 days. You do not need to visit a police station or immigration office.
Yes, Georgia does not restrict remote work for digital nomads on a visa-free stay. However, you cannot take a local job or work for a Georgian employer without a work visa. Many Argentines work remotely from Tbilisi or Batumi without issues.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced.
No, entry is completely free for Argentine passport holders. There are no visa fees, arrival taxes, or departure taxes.
Yes, you can enter via any land border crossing. The same visa-free rules apply. Have your passport and return ticket ready. Land crossings are generally straightforward but can have longer queues during peak season.
Overstaying can result in fines, a ban from re-entering Georgia, or deportation. The fine is typically around 180 GEL (about $65 USD) for the first offense, but it's best to leave on time.
