Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Georgia before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you want to stay longer, you would need to exit and re-enter (but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits).
You will likely be denied entry. Georgian border control strictly requires 6 months of validity from your entry date. Renew your passport before traveling.
No. There is no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, if you look like you might work illegally or overstay, an officer could ask. Having a credit card or some cash (around $50 per day) is sensible.
Yes. Chileans can enter visa-free at any land border crossing. The same 90-day limit applies. Just present your passport at the border checkpoint.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined (around 180 GEL for the first 90 days overstay, then more), detained, or banned from re-entering Georgia for a period. Always leave on time.
No. There is no arrival declaration or registration requirement for Chilean passport holders. Just walk through passport control.
No, it is not mandatory. But it is strongly recommended. Medical costs in Georgia can be high, and insurance covers emergencies, hospital stays, and evacuation. Many travellers buy a policy like SafetyWing before departure.
