Georgia Visa FAQ for Canadian passport holders

Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Georgia?

No. Canadian citizens can enter Georgia without a visa and stay for up to one full year, under Government Ordinance No 255. There is no visa, e-Visa or online pre-registration to arrange before the trip. You need a passport valid for your whole stay and, since 1 January 2026, a health and accident insurance policy covering the entire trip, which the Patrol Police may check at the border. Entry can be refused to a traveller who has no insurance or no sufficient funds for the stay and the return.

Is there a cost or waiting time for visa-free entry to Georgia?

No. Visa-free entry costs nothing and has no application to process, so there is nothing to wait for. The one thing to arrange before you travel is health and accident insurance, mandatory for tourists since 1 January 2026. The policy can come from a Georgian or a foreign insurer, on paper or in electronic form, in Georgian or English, and its sum insured must be at least 30,000 GEL.

How long can Canadian citizens stay in Georgia without a visa?

Up to one full year. Under Ordinance No 255, Canadian citizens may enter Georgia without a visa and stay for one full year. Your passport must remain valid for the whole period, so that it does not expire while you are in Georgia, and your insurance must cover every day of your stay, including the arrival and departure days. Even a year-long visa-free stay does not give the right to work in Georgia.

What do I need to enter Georgia visa-free?

A passport valid for your whole stay, and a health and accident insurance policy covering the entire trip, including the arrival and departure days, with a sum insured of at least 30,000 GEL. The Patrol Police may check the policy at the border crossing point. Be ready to show sufficient funds for your stay and your return, because entry can be refused without them. Abkhazia may be entered only from Zugdidi and the Tskhinvali region (South Ossetia) only from Gori; entry from any other direction, such as from Russia, is punishable under the Criminal Code.

Can Canadian citizens work in Georgia without a visa?

Not without a work permit. Since 1 March 2026, a foreigner needs a work permit to be employed or to carry out labour or business activity in Georgia, and this includes working remotely. A visa-free stay, even one of a full year, does not give that right. If you plan any job or business activity while in Georgia, arrange the work permit before you start.
