Georgia Travel Update: What’s Current for 2026
Travellagio · Last checked September 2026 · We revisit this page whenever rules change
Georgia remains one of the most visitor-friendly countries in the world for entry rules, and nothing about that has meaningfully changed heading into 2026. Here’s the current state of play, kept up to date as things shift.
Entry & visa status
Most passport holders — including EU, UK, US, and Israeli citizens — can still enter Georgia visa-free for up to 1 year, one of the longest visa-free allowances anywhere. No application, no e-visa, no pre-approval. You get a stamp at the border and you’re in.
What’s actually changed recently
Tbilisi’s airport has continued expanding low-cost carrier routes, which is quietly pushing flight prices down on several European routes compared to two years ago. Wine country (Kakheti) tourism infrastructure has also matured noticeably — more boutique guesthouses, more organized tasting routes — without prices catching up to the experience yet.
Cost of living check
Georgia has stayed remarkably affordable relative to its European-adjacent scenery. Tbilisi city-center dining and accommodation have crept up slightly year over year, but remain well below Western European equivalents. Rural regions (Svaneti, Kakheti) are essentially unchanged in price.
Should you still consider the digital nomad angle?
Georgia’s remote-work-friendly reputation (long visa-free stays, low cost, good internet in Tbilisi and Batumi) continues to hold up, and the country still has no formal separate digital nomad visa requirement for most nationalities — the standard visa-free entry covers it.
