Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 15 September 2026:
You can visit Georgia without a visa for up to one year.
To stay longer or to travel for work or study, you must apply for a longer-term visa. Contact the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information.
The rules on who can work in Georgia were changed on 1 March 2026. If you are a foreign national and want to work in Georgia, including working remotely or running a business, you must have a work permit.
A work permit is issued for one year and only for a specific job and a specific employer.
Once the work permit is approved, you must then apply for the appropriate visa and/or a worker’s residence permit.
Passport validity
If you’re visiting Georgia, your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay.
Check with your travel provider to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
