Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Georgia. No minimum validity period beyond your stay is required, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Georgia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they want to see you leave within the 360-day visa-free window. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation, Airbnb confirmation, or a letter from your host with their address and contact details. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement, credit card, or cash showing you can cover your stay. There's no fixed amount, but around $50 per day is a safe benchmark if questioned. | Recommended |
360-day stay is generous
This is one of the longest visa-free stays available to Malaysians. You can spend nearly a full year in Georgia without any visa paperwork.
Overstaying has consequences
If you stay beyond 360 days, you risk fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering Georgia. Set a reminder to leave on time.
