Travel Summary

On 12 May 2012 a number of people were killed and injured in floods in Tbilisi. There are no reports of any British Nationals being among the casualties. There may be further risk of landslides. You are advised to monitor local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities.

We advise against all travel to the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and all but essential travel to areas near the Administrative Boundary Lines (ABLs) with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, where tensions remain high.

On 13 February 2012 an explosive device was found in the car of an Israeli Embassy employee in Tbilisi. Visitors should exercise vigilance.

Protests are a common occurrence in Georgia. You should avoid demonstrations as violent incidents do occur.

The British Government does not recognise the unilateral declarations of independence made by the de facto authorities in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and there is no UK diplomatic representation available in either location.

You should exercise caution when driving at all times, and avoid doing so at night, if possible.

There is some risk from unexploded ordnance in areas where fighting took place in August 2008 and in military installations where Russian troops were present.

There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

Seven British nationals required consular assistance in Georgia in the period 1 April 2010 - 31 March 2011. See General - Consular Assistance Statistics.

You should monitor developments closely and check this travel advice regularly. British nationals in Georgia who have not done so already should register with the British Embassy.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See the General - Insurance.
