flag The EU suspended visa-free travel for Georgian officials until at least March 2027 over democratic backsliding and human rights abuses.

flag The European Union has suspended visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats and officials until at least March 6, 2027, due to concerns over democratic backsliding, human rights violations, and the suppression of protests following Georgia’s 2024 decision to halt EU accession talks. flag The move, the first use of a new EU visa suspension mechanism, stems from ongoing crackdowns on opposition figures, independent media, and demonstrators, as well as failures to uphold democratic commitments. flag The EU advises member states to closely scrutinize all Georgian nationals entering the bloc, with officials using personal passports potentially denied entry. flag The suspension could be extended by up to two years if reforms are not made.
