How this rule was checked

On 31 Oct 2026 we checked this rule against the official sources that govern entry to Georgia, chiefly Government of Georgia, Ordinance No 255 (Georgian text published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia). Two independent checks reached the same result.

Before the check, public visa data (as of 17 Feb 2026) said: visa-free, up to 1 year. The official source shows: visa-free, up to 1 year, and that is what this page shows.

Before you travel

This page answers whether you need a visa and how long you can stay on a short tourist visit. It does not cover passport validity, other documents or permission to work. Entry rules change, sometimes without notice, and border officials make the final decision: confirm the requirements for your trip with the official immigration website or embassy of Georgia.
