This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Summary (most common cause of consular assistance in 2007). The overall level of the advice has not changed.
We advise against all travel to the separatist regions of South Ossetia, Abkhazia and also the upper Kodori Valley (also known as upper Abkhazia). You should also exercise particular caution if you travel to Svaneti, Pankisi valley, Zugdidi and Tsalenjika districts. See the Local Travel section of this advice for more details.


You should avoid all land borders with the Russian Federation. See the Local Travel section of this advice for more details.


In the run up to the Parliamentary Elections the Opposition are planning demonstrations, which began on15 February 2008. You should exercise caution and avoid any demonstrations and large crowds. See the Political Situation section of this advice for more details.


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


The main type of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Georgia in 2007 was for replacing lost and stolen passports. In 2007 four British nationals were arrested in Georgia in alcohol related incidents. Crime against foreigners is generally low, but does occur. See the Crime section of this advice for more details.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and the Travel Insurance for more details.
