SECURITY SITUATION – The security situation in the country is good. Demonstrations and protests are occasionally organized in Georgia, so such gatherings should be avoided, and the media as well as instructions and warnings issued by local authorities should be followed. Foreign citizens may enter the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region (South Ossetia) only from the territory of Georgia, namely: into Abkhazia from the Zugdidi municipality, and into the Tskhinvali region from the Gori municipality. Direct entry to the above territories from any other state is considered illegal.
TRANSPORT – International airports in Georgia are found in Tbilisi, Senaki, Batumi and Kutaisi. The national airline "Air Serbia" has established a regular Belgrade-Tbilisi flight since June 2025.
All major cities and regional centres are connected by rail and road networks. The main roads are good, but their sections in mountain areas are in an inferior state. A vehicle registration permit and driver’s licence is required for travelling with a passenger vehicle.
