Georgia Visa for China Citizens 2026

Visa Free

Chinese citizens can enter Georgia visa-free for stays of up to 30 days within any 60-day period, using just a valid passport at the border.

Guide last updated October 3, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the full duration of the stay
  • No visa, application form, or photo required for the visa-free entry itself
  • Return or onward ticket, recommended to carry in case of border checks
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or address of stay), recommended but rarely requested
  • Travel insurance is recommended though not mandatory
  • No biometrics are collected for visa-free entry, though a photo/fingerprint may be taken at automated border control in some cases

Visa types

  • No visa is needed for stays up to 30 days within any 60-day period under Georgia's visa-free regime for Chinese passport holders
  • Travelers wishing to stay longer or work/study in Georgia must apply separately for a long-term visa (D-visa categories) or residence permit through Georgian consular services or the Georgian e-visa portal (evisa.gov.ge)

Entry conditions

  • Chinese citizens may stay visa-free for up to 30 days within a 60-day period for tourism, business meetings, or visiting family
  • Working under this visa-free entry is not permitted; a separate work visa and permit are required for employment
  • On arrival, present your passport at border control; an entry stamp recording the permitted stay is issued
  • To extend beyond 30 days, travelers generally need to exit and re-enter after the 60-day window resets, or apply for a long-term visa before the visa-free period expires — overstaying is not allowed

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies for the visa-free entry itself
  • No processing time is needed since no visa application is required
  • Those applying for a long-term D-visa instead should expect consular fees (typically USD 30-130 depending on category) and processing of around 10-20 working days

Tips for China travelers

  • Carry a printed hotel booking and return ticket, as border officers occasionally ask for them despite the visa-free policy
  • Keep track of the 60-day rolling window if you plan multiple short trips to Georgia, since the 30-day allowance resets only after 60 days from the first entry
  • If you intend to study, work, or stay long-term, start the D-visa application at a Georgian consulate before your visa-free period runs out
  • Georgia's e-Visa portal (evisa.gov.ge) can also be used to pre-register a trip even though it isn't mandatory for Chinese nationals, which can simplify re-entry documentation
