Who Needs a Visa for Georgia

Whether you need a visa, and which one, depends on your nationality, purpose of travel and length of stay.

Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Georgia has an unusually open entry policy. Citizens of a large list of countries can enter without a visa and stay for up to a year, while others must obtain an ordinary (Category C) short-stay visa, in many cases online through the e-Visa system. The current visa-free country list is set by government ordinance and published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Eligibility for longer stays is purpose-based: work and business (D1), missions (D2), study (D3/D6), family reunification (D4) and property ownership (D5) each have their own immigration visa and matching residence permit. Investors, close family of Georgian citizens, and long-term residents have their own residence and citizenship routes.
