What are the rules for crossing the border to Georgia?

Regardless of how long you're going to vacation, all the rules about crossing the border must know in advance. Otherwise, the vacation may be spoiled by unpleasant nuances. The greatest number of problems may arise at the customs office.
Russians, Ukrainians and citizens of other countries do not need a visa to enter Georgia, especially if you are traveling for two weeks. There is no particular difference what country you are coming from, except for some exceptions.
The employees of the customs point are considerate and friendly to all tourists. You will need a passport to cross the border, which will be valid for at least three months. If you are going to come to Georgia by car, you will need the standard set of documents.
If we talk about the rules of import and export of various products and money, it is worth clarifying some details. So, without a special declaration, which can be filled out by an individual in Russian, Georgian or English, you can not move more than 30 thousand GEL. There are also restrictions on the import of medicines, it is worth clarifying in advance on special sources. There may be a situation of a ban on the import of special medicines, for which you need a prescription.
There are special restrictions on the export of alcohol, namely you can bring up to 3 liters of alcohol free of charge. If you want to carry more than 3 liters, you can pay a duty of 10 euros per liter. This way you can expand the amount of alcohol you can take with you. Finding undeclared products, customs officials have the right to impose fines and confiscate products.
It is worth clarifying that if you are going to travel to Georgia via South Ossetia or Abkhazia, you will not be able to do it legally. I do not advise you to take the risk, but rather to wait until your passport has been changed and travel to Georgia legally.

If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, you can stay in Georgia without a visa for up to 360 days.
I have traveled in Georgia by my own car, and from my own experience I have the impression that there are no special restrictions on taking alcohol out. If you want to travel by plane, there are some restrictions. The employees at the customs point in Georgia are very polite and friendly to every tourist!

At the moment, there is a simplified regime, according to which the border crossing into the territory of Georgia requires only a passport for Russian citizens, if the stay is planned for up to 30 months. You do not need a visa.
You can enter by car only through Upper Lars pass. It is forbidden to bring in and take out weapons, explosives and radioactive substances, as well as antiques and works of art. Allowed to take out 3 liters of alcohol per adult.
The tax free system works in Batumi and Tbilisi. Not all stores are members of the system yet, but those that are can be identified by the inscription "Tax Free Shopping". Tax refunds can be given if the purchase amount is more than 200 GEL and if the purchased precious items do not contain gold.
