Visit (visa-free with US residence): Nigerian citizen in United States → Georgia
Nigerian citizens who hold a valid US visa or US residence permit may enter Georgia visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period — no Georgian visa needed.

When to start
Start 1–1 days before your travel date.
Although Nigerian citizens normally need a Georgian visa, Georgia's government ordinance lets holders of a valid visa or residence permit of any listed country — the United States is on that list — enter and stay visa-free for 90 calendar days in any 180-day period. Your US visa or US residence permit must be valid on the day you cross the Georgian border.
The waiver applies only while your US visa or US residence permit is valid on the day of entry, and that validity must be evidenced by a travel or other appropriate document — so carry the US document itself together with your passport and be ready to show them at the Georgian border.
Present your passport and your valid US visa or US residence permit at the checkpoint; you are admitted visa-free and receive your stay stamp for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The Border Police make the final decision on entry.

- Health and accident insurance (mandatory for tourists since 1 Jan 2026) — A valid health and accident insurance policy, in physical or electronic form, covering the full period of your stay — required of every tourist entering Georgia, visa-free entrants included. ✓ verified

Gotchas to watch
- This visa-free entry depends on your US visa or US residence permit being valid for the whole stay — if it lapses you fall back to the normal Georgia visa route (the e-Visa Portal or a Georgian consulate).
- The US document must be valid on the day you cross the Georgian border, and you must be able to evidence it with a travel or other appropriate document.
- The 90-day allowance is counted across any 180-day period, not per entry — previous days spent in Georgia count against it.
- Since 1 January 2026 all tourists must hold health and accident insurance for the whole stay, even when entering visa-free.
- Visa-free eligibility does not guarantee entry — the Georgian Border Police make the final decision at the checkpoint.
