Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Georgia | Your Brazilian passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay. Georgia does not enforce a 6-month validity rule for Brazilians, but airlines may ask for it at check-in. | 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 showing you leave within 360 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Georgia. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it speeds up the process if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 2,000 GEL (around $750 USD) for your stay. Officers almost never check this for Brazilians, but it's good backup. | Recommended |
Visa-free for 360 days
Brazilian passport holders can stay in Georgia for up to 360 days without any visa. No application, no fee — just a valid passport and you're in.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Georgia, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before you travel.

Frequently asked questions
No. Brazilian passport holders get visa-free entry for up to 360 days. Just show up with a valid passport and you'll be stamped in at the border.
Up to 360 days per entry. That's nearly a full year. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a residence permit through Georgia's immigration office.
No. The visa-free period is not extendable. You must leave Georgia before day 360. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you need more time, exit to a neighboring country (Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan) and re-enter for a fresh 360-day period.
Your passport (6+ months validity, 1 blank page) is the only mandatory document. Immigration may ask for a return ticket or proof of accommodation, so have those ready on your phone. Travel insurance is not required but strongly recommended.
No. Entry is completely free. No application, no payment, no form to fill out.
No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short-term stays only. If you plan to work or study, you need the appropriate visa or residence permit. Working on a tourist stamp is illegal and can get you deported.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may face a fine (around 180 GEL for the first 10 days, then more), a ban from re-entering Georgia for a period, or both. Always leave before your stamp expires.
