Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Georgia visa requirements

No. A Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holder cannot travel to Georgia for tourism. Georgia does not recognize the Taiwan passport and refuses entry to its holders. There is no visa-free, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival channel for Taiwanese tourists. Visas are issued only on a rare case-by-case basis for officially invited participants in international conferences, sports, or world-class events. Georgia maintains an "admission refused" policy for holders of Taiwan (Republic of China) passports because it does not recognize the Taiwan passport as a valid travel document for ordinary entry. While Georgia offers an exceptionally generous regime to many nationalities (visa-free stays of up to 365 days for over 90 countries, plus an eVisa for others), Taiwan is explicitly excluded from all of these channels. The only legal pathway is a special visa granted on a case-by-case basis, normally limited to people formally invited to international conferences, sporting events, or other world-class events held in Georgia, and even then approval is discretionary and not intended for ordinary tourism. Taiwanese travelers seeking a Caucasus trip generally cannot rely on entering Georgia. Note also that since 1 January 2026, all foreign nationals admitted to Georgia must hold travel medical insurance valid for their stay with minimum coverage of 30,000 GEL. Because no confirmed tourist entry channel exists and approval is exceptional, the conservative and accurate verdict is "visa-required" (effectively closed to ordinary tourism). Travelers with dual nationality should use a passport from a country Georgia recognizes (e.g., a US, EU, UK, Japanese, or Australian passport, all of which enjoy 1-year visa-free entry).
