Visas: The citizens of Poland, Bulgaria and
the other CIS countries can enter Georgia without a visa. U.S. citizens
visiting for ninety days or less do not need a visa to enter Georgia. Armenian
and Azerbaijani visas are no longer valid for transit through Georgia Other visitors must get a visa
(valid for one month) from a Georgian embassy abroad or when they get to the airport (not
recommended). Health risks: Medical care in Georgia is limited. There is a severe shortage of
basic medical supplies. Bring your own syringes (with a note from your doctor), and ensure
you're in good health before you leave home. Travelers should consider receiving the
pre-exposure rabies vaccine before leaving home. Doctors and hospitals often expect
immediate cash payment for health services in Georgia.
