There is an extreme risk for travellers going to the breakway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the Pankisi Gorge beyond Akhmeta and the Svaneti region, NW Georgia and we advise against all travel to these areas.
New Zealanders are advised not to enter or leave the country via the land border with the Russian Federation. Kidnappings have occurred in these areas.
For the rest of Georgia we advise that there is some risk.
New Zealanders are advised to be security conscious at all times. They should avoid crowded/landmark places and avoid travelling alone or after dark. There is a possibility of terrorist activity throughout Georgia.
