Guide last updated September 9, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
  • No visa or advance application needed for visa-free entry
  • No proof of funds or accommodation typically required, though it can be requested at the border
  • Return or onward travel is not usually checked given the long visa-free period
  • No photo or biometric requirements since no visa is filed
  • Travel health insurance is recommended, not mandatory

Visa types

  • Tourist/general entry: visa-free, up to 1 year (360-365 days depending on current government decree), one of the most generous visa-free allowances offered by any country to German citizens
  • Business visits fall under the same visa-free allowance for meetings; formal local employment should be regularized with a residence/work permit if staying long-term
  • Long-term residency (temporary or permanent residence permit) can be applied for locally in Georgia if settling for work, study, or investment

Entry conditions

  • Up to 360 days of visa-free stay per visit, one of the longest such allowances globally
  • No formal work is authorized without registering for a residence permit, even though enforcement for short stays is light
  • On arrival, simply present your passport; an entry stamp is given but no separate form is needed
  • If you wish to stay long-term or work legally, apply locally for a residence permit through Georgia's Public Service Hall

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee — entry is free for up to 360 days
  • No processing time since no application is filed
  • A residence permit application, if pursued for long-term stays, carries government fees (varying by permit type) and takes a few weeks to process
  • Total cost for a standard tourist trip: EUR 0

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Given the long visa-free period, many digital nomads and long-stay travelers choose Georgia — but working locally still technically requires proper registration
  • No extension process is needed for tourism since the base allowance already covers up to a year
  • Keep a copy of your entry stamp date to track your remaining allowance if you leave and re-enter
  • The German Embassy in Tbilisi can assist with lost documents or emergencies during an extended stay
  • Rules occasionally change — check Georgia's Public Service Hall or an official source shortly before a very long trip
