Caution regarding entry and exit from Georgia

Oct. 1, 2025, 8 p.m.
[Contents]
In Georgia, Japanese nationals are generally allowed to stay without a visa for periods of less than one year.
On the other hand, especially recently, it is not uncommon for people to be denied entry into or exit from Georgia if the authorities determine that they have violated Georgian laws or that they have not followed proper immigration procedures.

●Immigration control is carried out by the authority of each country, so once entry or departure is denied, it is extremely difficult to request that the decision be revoked.
・Exceeding the period of stay (staying for more than one year)
Please be aware that your application may be refused if your passport has expired, you have engaged in income-generating activities or studied abroad without registration, your appearance at the time of entry is significantly different from that in your passport photo, or the authorities deem you to have violated any other Georgian laws, regulations, or official regulations.

●In addition, bringing in or taking out drugs, firearms, swords, or other weapons will not only result in denial of entry or exit, but will also be severely punished with criminal penalties such as long prison sentences.
*It is best not to bring in or take out any items that may be considered prohibited items.

●If you are unsure about items to be imported or exported (brought in or taken out), please contact the relevant authorities in advance to confirm.
