Georgia’s European Way December 2015
I
would like to congratulate every citizen of Georgia on the success achieved in the visa liberalization process, underlined in the European Commission’s progress report issued on 18 December 2015 on the bases of which, in the near future Georgian citizens will be able to travel visa-free to the EU/Schengen states. This success is a result of the efforts of Georgian state institutions and effective implementation of comprehensive reforms. For these achievements, I would like to thank the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refugees, the Prosecutor's Office, the Office of the State Minister on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, the Office of the State Minister of Georgia for Reconciliation and Civic Equality, the Financial Monitoring Service, the Personal Data Protection Inspector, the Public Defender's Office, the Civil Service Bureau, the State Procurement Agency, the Secretariat for Human Rights, as well as the Parliament, the Court and all other state agencies engaged in the visa liberalization process. The Eastern Partnership initiative opened up the perspective of visa-free travel to the EU and it will bring one of the most tangible benefits to Georgian citizens in the country’s European integration process. Visa liberalization means the introduction of visa-free travel to the Schengen Area for citizens of Georgia, holding a biometric passport.1 As a result of the visa liberalization, visa-free travel will apply for shortstay visits (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) and will not provide an opportunity for long-term stays, such as for studying or working etc. Long-stay visits will remain subject to the normal visa procedure through the relevant consulates. In addition, every citizen will still need to pass through border control and the final decision on granting entry will be taken by the relevant border authority.
