Georgia has granted visa-free entry to citizens of four African countries, allowing them to remain in the country for up to one year, according to the Georgian government's official website.
Under the country's current visa policy, no prior visa application is required for eligible travellers, provided they comply with Georgia's broader immigration requirements upon arrival.

African countries eligible for visa-free entry
The four African nations whose citizens qualify for this arrangement are Botswana, Mauritius, South Africa and Seychelles.
Nationals from each of these countries may enter Georgian territory and remain for a continuous period of up to 12 months without needing to obtain a visa in advance.

Georgia's 2026 visa policy
Georgia operates a relatively open visa regime compared with many European countries, extending visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a significant number of nationalities worldwide.
The inclusion of these four African states reflects the country's broader approach to facilitating travel and easing entry requirements for citizens of select nations.
For travellers from Botswana, Mauritius, South Africa and Seychelles, the policy removes a significant administrative barrier, enabling stays far longer than the short-term access typically granted under standard visa-free arrangements elsewhere.
Travellers are advised to consult the Georgian government's official website directly for the most up-to-date entry requirements and any conditions that may apply to their stay.
