One of the typical issues we Philippine passport holders encounter when traveling out of the country is the necessity of acquiring a visa beforehand. We may have the advantage of visiting other countries without any need of security approval prior but it is only limited especially when it comes to entering European countries, and at times, processing for visa is not that simple. I, together with a group of friends went for a winter escapade in Georgia and Armenia last January 2016. It was indeed an enjoyable trip having the privilege as well to enter both countries without any hassle. Good news for Philippine passport holders with GCC Residency traveling to Georgia! I am an alien resident of Qatar and as per my personal experience, Filipinos with GCC residency who are planning to visit Georgia anytime soon are just as lucky as me, because visiting this country is so easy, plus we are visa exempted! Click this link for basic reference only: Visa Information for Georgia Here's what you have to secure and bring with you ESPECIALLY when soaring with FlyDubai. Just these requirements and you are off to an exciting trip to the Caucasian country!
In any case you'll be needing to apply for a short term visa before your intended travel, e-Visa can be applied in Georgia's e-Visa Portal and can be verified online at Georgian Consular Services. Just an advice. If you plan to visit Georgia during winter season, make sure to bring with you 'REAL' winter clothes! Otherwise, you'll be chillin' to the bones and miss the chance to enjoy strolling down the streets of the Old Tbilisi. Have fun and bon voyage! ❤❤❤ _____________________________ So, were you able to visit Georgia? I'd love to hear from you too!

Hi Pie, your blogs are helpful! Thanks! My partner and I are planning to go to Georgia this coming Dec 16 - 19, 2016. However, her UAE residence visa expires on Feb 9, 2017 and mine expires on Mar 2, 2017. I am using a new passport and my visa page is attached in the old one. Her passport is still valid until 2018. Do you think we'll be allowed to enter Georgia? Please advise. Hope to hear from you.

I am Filipino living in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Me and my friends went to Georgia and Armenia last April 2017. As we were in immigration in Georgia, the officer asked us about our respective visa. We presented our original Iqama (Saudi residence ID). The immigration officer refused to accept it and instead looked for other supporting documents. Luckily, 3 of us has a valid US Visa. Not satisfied, the immigration officer asked us the proof of our US entry, the US homeland security stamp in our passport. In Armenia, it says "VISA FREE" . When we entered this country, we were asked to go to one counter, obtain and pay the Armenia sticker visa for 3,000 AMD (approximately 23 SAR). Although the fee is minimal, IT'S NOT VISA FREE.....

NOPE....they wouldn't care about your exit/reentry visa and even if you bring with you your original iqama. You can travel to Georgia and no need to worry if you have a valid US Visa. My advise, in the event that you dont have the US Visa, bring with you your original Iqama and an English translation of it. The english translation might help.

Hi Ms Pie,
We traveled with flydubai that time, as what i can remember, it was offered upon booking, you'll just have to add additional charges. But you can also book it separately, make sure that it covers your whole travel duration.

Yeah. I've been there too last month. You're right, they're not strict to Filipino Citizens. In fact, they just asked my Iqama. They did Not ask for my Insurance, Hotel Reservation, Ticket etc...

Hi..I’m also currently working here in KSA however I’ll be going exit by January, and before heading home, I wish to travel to Georgia, however that means only exit visa and no re-entry exit visa to KSA..and no IQAMA.. Is it still possible to travel to Georgia?

Hi! Thank you for this blog - very informative! Just a question though, my husband and I are both here in Dubai and will be traveling to Georgia this January. We both have residence visa but I got mine last August only since I arrived here just last July. Would that be okay? My husband's would expire on July 2019 naman.
