Your passport must be valid for your entire intended stay in Georgia. Although entry is visa-free for eligible nationalities, border officers may request proof of accommodation, sufficient funds (approx. $50 per day), return/onward flights and travel insurance. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation and future bans. Do not attempt to work. Always verify the latest rules before travel as regulations may change.
Nestled between Europe and Asia, Georgia enchants travelers with its dramatic Caucasus Mountains, ancient wine culture, and legendary hospitality that makes every guest feel like family. Stroll through Tbilisi’s eclectic Old Town with its colorful balconies and thermal baths, hike to centuries-old monasteries perched on cliffs, taste world-class wines in Kakheti, and unwind on the Black Sea coast. Whether you seek adventure, culture, or culinary delights, Georgia delivers an authentic and affordable experience unlike anywhere else. The ideal time to visit is late spring through early autumn when the landscapes are at their most vibrant. Book your tickets now — this hidden gem is calling your name.
