Current Travel Situation
United Kingdom to Georgia: What You Need to Know
Georgia extended its visa-free period to 365 days specifically to attract long-term visitors and digital nomads. The policy is well established and covers tourism, remote work, and language study. UK citizens do not need to register with authorities for stays under 180 days.
Practical Tips
The Georgian lari (GEL) is the local currency; ATMs are widely available in cities. Georgia uses 220V electricity with European-style Type C/F plugs. Public transport is affordable and the country has excellent hiking infrastructure in the Caucasus mountains. Healthcare standards vary outside Tbilisi so comprehensive travel insurance is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do UK citizens need a visa for Georgia?
No. British passport holders can visit Georgia without a visa for up to one year (365 days). This is one of the most generous visa-free allowances available to UK travellers anywhere in the world.
Can I work remotely in Georgia as a UK citizen on the visa-free allowance?
The visa-free 365-day period covers tourism and short-term remote work in many cases, but if you intend to earn income from Georgian clients or register a Georgian company, you should seek formal residency or a work permit from the Georgian Civil Registry Agency.
Does the 365-day Georgia visa-free period reset when I leave and re-enter?
Yes. The 365-day limit applies per continuous stay. If you leave Georgia and re-enter, the clock resets and you receive a fresh 365-day allowance from the new date of entry.
What currency is used in Georgia and can I use UK bank cards?
Georgia uses the Georgian lari (GEL). UK debit and credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are widely accepted in Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi, and ATMs are plentiful. Smaller towns and rural areas are more cash-dependent so carry some lari when travelling outside cities.
