Verified practical details
You don't need a visa to enter Georgia, but here are some practical details worth knowing before you travel:
Fee
Travellers who enter without a visa pay no fee. What does cost money, since 1 January 2026, is the compulsory health and accident insurance, bought separately and covering a minimum sum of 30,000 lari.
Required documents
- Valid passport. Enter and leave with the same document to avoid problems at border control.
- A valid health and accident insurance policy, on paper or in electronic form, written in Georgian or English, with minimum cover of 30,000 lari for the whole period of stay, arrival and departure days included. It may be issued by a Georgian or a foreign insurer and must state the parties to the contract, the covered territory, the subject matter of the insurance, the start and end dates, the insured risks, the sum insured and the premium.

Ordinance 255/2015 allows citizens of the countries in its annex to stay up to one full year without a visa. There is also a second route, Ordinance 256, for people who are not nationals of one of those countries but do hold a visa or a residence permit from one of them (Spain included): they may enter without a visa for 90 days in any 180-day period. Important warning: entering Abkhazia or South Ossetia from Russia is illegal under Georgia's occupied territories law and can carry prison sentences of up to five years; the crossings into those territories are not valid points of entry into Georgia.
