You will need a valid passport to enter Georgia. U.S. citizens visiting for 90 days or less in a 180 day period do not need a visa. For further information concerning entry requirements for Georgia, travelers should contact the Embassy of Georgia at 1824 R Street, NW Washington DC, 20009 tel. (202) 387-2390, fax: (202) 387-0864, email: embgeo.usa@mfa.gov.ge. Please visit the Embassy of Georgia’s website for the most current visa information.

U.S. citizens who overstay the permitted 90 days in a 180 day period are subject to a fine. For information on penalties citizens should contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. For information on getting a residency permit in Georgia citizens should contact Public Service Development Agency of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia.

Law enforcement and border officials are authorized under Georgian law to inquire about the purpose of travel of a traveler, availability of sufficient means for the anticipated period of travel, health and accident insurance, hotel reservation, return ticket reservation, an invitation, or other guarantees for entering a country of destination if crossing the territory of Georgia for transit purposes.

Georgia requires that foreign documents intended for official use in Georgia be authenticated under Apostille, including documents used to apply for Georgian residency permits. The U.S. Embassy CANNOT, by law, under any circumstances, authenticate a document issued in the United States. This includes birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, educational records, driver's licenses and other documents, regardless of whether the documents have already been notarized in the United States. Under the Hague Convention on Legalization of Foreign Public Documents, an Apostille by a U.S. clerk of court or a State Secretary of State certifies authenticity of a U.S. document. See our sections on Judicial Assistance and Notarial/Authentication Service for more information on Apostilles.

HIV/AIDS Restrictions: The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents in Georgia who plan to stay for 90 days or less
