Before you go
Planning a trip to Georgia is what people look up before booking: do you need a visa, when to go, how much money to bring, and what about insurance and safety. This section gives short, practical answers with links to the sections that cover each topic in depth.
We keep only what actually affects your prep here: visa and entry rules, seasons and weather, money and budget, the mandatory insurance. Regulatory things (visas, insurance) change fast — we mark the date and link the official source rather than passing off old facts as current.
