What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (or land border)
At passport control, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp your passport — no fee, no forms. The whole process takes 2-5 minutes.
2
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — make sure it's legible and shows the correct date. You're now allowed to stay up to 90 days.
3
Exit Georgia before day 90
Count your days from the entry stamp. Overstaying even by a day can result in a fine (around 180 GEL) and a ban. Set a reminder on your phone.
