Restrictive measures related to movement between countries are constantly changing. Sea Inside has collected the latest information about what the rules for entry to Georgia are now.
Since March 1, 2022, the rules for visiting Georgia for foreigners have been relaxed. Now you can go:
1. With the vaccine. Any two-phase vaccines are accepted (in the case of Johnson & Johnson, one phase is enough). Vaccinated people may not present a negative PCR test. The law does not prescribe the time that must pass after vaccination.
2. With a negative PCR test. It must be done no later than 72 hours before crossing the border. Children under 10 do not need a test. The rule applies to all visitors, regardless of citizenship (previously the list was limited to 67 countries. The obligation to take the PCR test again on the third day of stay is canceled.
You can provide either a printed or electronic certificate of the vaccine/PCR test.
*The status of the patient has no legal force.

No special permit is needed to enter Georgia by land (through the Upper Lars checkpoint). However, the restrictions specified in Decree No. 763 of the Government of the Russian Federation still apply. According to him, departure is possible in the following cases: the presence of close relatives, a trip for work / study, for treatment, the presence of real estate or a residence permit. To confirm any of these grounds, you must have the appropriate documents.
* Citizens of the Russian Federation can return to Russia through the Upper Lars without reason (that is, you can fly by plane, and return by car).
Can citizens of Ukraine and Belarus come through the Upper Lars?
Theoretically, yes; practically, it is unlikely (in practice there were no such cases).
General rules
Foreigners, including citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and about 100 other countries, do not need a visa to enter. Foreigners can stay in the country for 360 days. After the expiration of this period, it should be reset to zero: it is reset by crossing the border (Armenian or Turkish).
Based on this , Georgia is one of the best countries to purchase real estate .
