Good to know
The United States is on Georgia's visa-free list. Note 1 to Government Ordinance No. 255 says citizens of listed countries "may enter and stay in Georgia without visa for one full year" — the data uses 365 days; it is commonly described as 360 days in practice, so don't plan to the last day. Under the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens, Art. 11(1)(d), entry may be refused if a traveller lacks sufficient funds to stay and return or health and accident insurance. There is no arrival card and no return ticket is formally required by that law.
