Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit GE?
No visa required. Canadian passport holders may enter Georgia visa-free and stay for up to 365 days (1 full year) per entry for tourism, business, or visiting. Just bring a valid passport. Canada is on Georgia's most generous visa-free list, which grants citizens of select countries (including the US, Canada, Japan, the EU, Australia, and the Gulf states) the right to enter and remain in Georgia without a visa for up to one year (365 days) per stay. Georgia is NOT part of the Schengen Area or the EU, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here. Entry is granted on arrival simply by presenting a passport valid for the duration of stay with at least one blank page. No advance application, fee, or e-visa is needed for a short tourist visit. The only formal requirement noted by authorities is that the passport remain valid throughout the stay; Georgian authorities also reserve the right to ask tourists for proof of valid travel/health insurance covering the visit, and travelers who previously overstayed may face re-entry refusal. Stays beyond one year require a residence permit obtained from the Public Service Hall. Both Canada's official travel advisory (travel.gc.ca) and the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirm the visa-free, one-year entitlement.
