Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Georgia | Your Colombian passport needs to be valid for the full 360 days you plan to stay. Georgia does not enforce the 6-month validity rule — just make sure it doesn't expire before you leave. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Tbilisi Airport rarely ask for proof of onward travel, but airlines sometimes check at check-in. Have a printed or digital onward ticket ready just in case. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended for visa-free entry | You don't need to show hotel bookings at the border, but having your first night's reservation handy speeds things up if asked. Georgia's migration officers rarely request this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended for visa-free entry | No formal minimum amount is published for Colombian visitors. Carry a credit card and some cash (USD or EUR) — enough to cover a few days of expenses if questioned. | Recommended |
360-day stay — but don't overstay
You can stay up to 360 days per year, but overstaying even one day can result in fines and future entry bans. Keep track of your entry date.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Georgia. If it expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling.
