Do you need a different visa for Tbilisi, Batumi, or Kutaisi?

No. Georgia sets the requirements, so entering through Tbilisi asks for the same as entering through Batumi or Kutaisi. If you're arriving overland or through a small border post, check that separately: some countries apply their own rules to specific crossings.

What does change is where you file the application when a visa is needed, and that depends on the country you live in rather than the city you're travelling to.

What draws travelers to Georgia

Georgia has become one of the fashionable destinations in the Caucasus thanks to an unusual combination: high mountains at moderate prices, a cuisine with a strong identity of its own, and 8,000 years of winemaking recognized by UNESCO as intangible heritage. Tbilisi, with its wooden balconies, sulphur baths and the Narikala fortress, works as a base; Mtskheta, the ancient capital half an hour away, preserves the historical monuments inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1994, the same year as Gelati Monastery in Imereti, with its Byzantine mosaics. The third cultural site is Upper Svaneti (1996), a valley of medieval defensive towers at the foot of the Caucasus and the best base for high-mountain walking; the fourth, and only natural one, is the Colchic Rainforests and Wetlands, inscribed in 2021 on the Black Sea coast. Those are the country's four World Heritage sites. To them add the cave city of Vardzia, carved out in the 12th century; Kazbegi and its Trinity church at 2,170 metres with the volcano behind; and Kakheti, the wine region, where wine is still fermented in qvevri, clay jars buried in the ground. Georgia is cheap, but two things are worth remembering: health insurance has been compulsory since 2026, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia are outside Tbilisi's control and cannot be entered from Russia.
