How long can a citizen of Iran stay in Georgia (the country) as a tourist?

The scheme for Iranians to visit Georgia visa-free was cancelled on the 2nd July 2013. Unless they qualify for an exemption, Iranian citizens now need a visa (which can be obtained online). This arose from two issues: First, the USA suggesting to Georgia that they should not let Iranians come into the country so easily; and second, Georgia’s long-term desire to eventually become an EU member state.

The exemptions are currently:

  • 30 days visa-free entry for those born in Georgia but who are not citizens;
  • 90 in 180 days for those holding a valid visa or residence permit for a Schengen member state, or for Australia, Bahrain, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, New Zealand, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turks and Caicos Islands, USA, or United Arab Emirates. Given the contents of this list, it’s quite possible that your Iranian friend already has such a visa.
