- Check that children's U.S. passports are valid well before departure to Georgia
- Allow extra time for passport renewal, as processing can take several weeks
- Contact the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi for questions on entry requirements for minors
The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi has issued a routine notice urging American citizens travelling to Georgia with children to ensure their passports are valid and renewed well in advance of the trip.
The embassy did not specify a particular passport validity period required by Georgian border authorities, but advises that processing times for passport renewals can be lengthy, and delays could affect travel plans.
The message is addressed to U.S. citizens planning family trips to Georgia and is part of the embassy’s routine public guidance on travel documentation.
What it means for travellers
US families planning to visit Georgia should check children’s passport expiry dates early and submit renewal applications well ahead of departure. Contact the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi directly for specific entry requirements.
