Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your planned date of departure from Georgia. Overstaying incurs daily fines, possible detention and future entry bans. Crossing into Georgia from the Russian-occupied territories of Abkhazia or South Ossetia is strictly prohibited and will result in a minimum 5-year ban. Always enter and exit through official border control points. Criminal activity, even minor, can lead to immediate deportation and blacklisting.
Nestled between Europe and Asia, Georgia enchants travelers with its dramatic Caucasus Mountains, ancient monasteries perched on cliffs, and the world's oldest winemaking tradition. Wander the vibrant, artistic streets of Tbilisi, savor khinkali dumplings and amber wines in Kakheti, hike pristine trails in Svaneti, or relax on Batumi's Black Sea beaches. The warm Georgian hospitality and incredible diversity of experiences will create memories that last a lifetime. Visit from May to October for ideal weather and vibrant festivals - book your flights today and discover why Georgia is Europe's best-kept secret!
