Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Georgia. No minimum validity period beyond your stay is required by Georgian law, but airlines may ask for at least 3 months validity at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Georgia | Immigration officers at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a friend in Georgia covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Georgia does not enforce a fixed minimum amount, but carrying a credit card and some cash (around 300 GEL per day) avoids any questions. ATMs are widely available in Tbilisi and Batumi. | Recommended |
360-day stay resets on exit
The 360-day clock starts from your entry stamp. If you leave Georgia and re-enter, you get a fresh 360 days. There is no minimum time you must spend outside the country.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Border officers check the 6-month rule at every entry. If your passport expires sooner, you will be refused entry — no exceptions. Renew your passport well in advance.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at a Georgian port of entry
Fly into Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), Kutaisi (KUT), or Batumi (BUS). Land border crossings from Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, or Russia also work. No visa is needed — just join the 'Foreign Passports' queue.
2
Present your passport to the border officer
Hand over your Lithuanian passport. The officer will check the validity (6+ months), scan it, and stamp it. They may ask your purpose of visit (tourism is fine) and how long you plan to stay.
3
Show supporting documents if asked
Have your return ticket and accommodation booking ready. In practice, most Lithuanian travellers are waved through without showing them, but keep them accessible.
4
Receive your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the entry date. No visa sticker or separate document is issued. You're free to stay up to 360 days from that stamp.
