Do I Need a Visa for Georgia?
For many travellers, no visa is needed. Citizens of countries on Georgia’s visa-free list can enter and stay for up to one full year.
SHORT ANSWER
Often no — but it depends on your passport.
EU citizens are on Georgia’s visa-free list. British citizens can also visit visa-free for up to one year. If you hold another passport, check the current Georgian government list before booking.
VISA-FREE STAY
Georgia is unusually generous with short visits
The Georgian government’s visa-free ordinance allows citizens of listed countries to enter and stay without a visa for one full year. That is much longer than the usual 90-day tourist allowance found in many countries.

Visa rules depend on citizenship and can change. Use Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs / consular information rather than relying on an old blog post.
