Czech passport holders can enter Georgia without a visa and stay up to 360 days per calendar year. No prior application or fee is needed — just show up at the border with your passport. This policy is in effect for 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport only needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Georgia. Airlines at Prague and other EU hubs rarely check for 6 months validity, but carry a passport that won't expire during your trip. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Border officers at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports rarely ask for an onward ticket, but budget airlines may check before boarding. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Georgia ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers almost never ask for hotel bookings, but having a confirmed reservation for the first few nights helps if questioned. A simple hostel or hotel booking confirmation on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended for visa-free entry | Georgia does not enforce a minimum cash requirement, but carrying a credit card and some cash (around 500 GEL or equivalent) covers you for unexpected expenses. ATMs are widely available in Tbilisi and Batumi. | Recommended |
360-day stay is generous — but track your days
The 360-day allowance resets each calendar year. If you enter in December 2026, you can stay until late November 2027 — but if you leave and re-enter in January 2027, the clock resets. Keep a simple note of your entry date to avoid accidental overstays.
No visa, no work
You cannot work for a Georgian employer or run a business in Georgia on this visa-free entry. For work, you need a separate work visa or residence permit. Violating this can result in deportation and a multi-year ban.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border
At Tbilisi International Airport, Kutaisi, or Batumi, follow signs to 'Passport Control' for non-Georgian citizens. The queue is usually straightforward — expect 5–15 minutes during peak hours.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your passport to the border officer. They will check your validity and blank pages. No visa or fee is required.
3
Answer entry questions
The officer may ask: 'How long are you staying?' and 'Where are you staying?' Have your accommodation address and return ticket details ready. Answer calmly and clearly.
4
Receive your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry. Check the stamp before walking away — it should be legible. You are now allowed to stay up to 360 days.
