Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for your entire stay in Georgia. Georgia does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just cover the dates you are in the country. Airlines may still enforce a 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 showing your departure within the 360-day visa-free limit. A refundable ticket or a cheap onward flight to a neighboring country works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from a host ready. A simple printout or phone screenshot is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Georgia does not have a fixed minimum amount, but officers may ask how you plan to fund your trip. Carry a credit card and some cash (USD or EUR are widely accepted). A bank statement or a quick glance at your wallet usually satisfies the question. | Recommended |
360 days is generous — but track your total
The 360-day visa-free stay is cumulative across all visits in a 365-day rolling period. If you stay 180 days, leave for a week, and return, you only have 180 days left. Use a travel tracker app to avoid overstaying.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Georgian border
At Tbilisi International Airport (or any land border), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly — they speak basic English at major entry points.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry. No visa sticker is issued. Check the stamp matches your intended stay length.
