Visa requirements for Georgian citizens

Visa requirements for Georgian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens of Georgia by the authorities of other states. Visa-free travel or visa on arrival is available for several destinations. It is estimated that as of April 2009, Georgian citizens are able to enter approximately 67 countries on Visa-free or Visa on Arrival option (IATA/Star Alliance Source[1]).

Due to EU enlargement in 2004 - 2007 and because of European Union common and uniform visa regulation policy, Georgian citizens lost visa free movement in new EU member states like Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Poland etc...(permitted up to 2003), Romania and Bulgaria (permitted up to 2006).

On 1 September 2008 Extraordinary European Council focused on Georgia. The 27 member states of European Union offered Georgia a visa facilitation agreement for its citizens and a creation of a fully free trade agreement. The process is being implemented. (Source: CE doc. 12594/08 [2])
