Diplomatic relations between Georgia and Republic of Austria were established in 1992. Georgia opened its Embassy in Vienna in 1996. The relations between the two countries are close and friendly. Georgia appreciates Support of Austrian Government in different fields of bilateral relations. In addition the commercial and cultural ties are also very important, but do not reflect its full potential and has a big prospective to develop.

Consular Section involves protecting and promoting the interests of Georgian nationals abroad, whether they live there or are there temporarily for business or pleasure. The embassies and consulates issue passports and emergency documents, deal with visa applications and legalise documents. When Georgian nationals run into difficulties abroad, the embassy or consulate can provide assistance.

The Consular Section also acts as the competent Georgian authority in matters such as passports, notary services and certain specific legal transactions, and advises non-Georgian citizens with entry permit matters. It also assists other Georgian authorities with citizenship, population register, military service and family law matters, and with arrangements for absentee voting.

Foreign staff of diplomatic missions and consular posts, as well as similar representations accredited to Georgia need visas for their first entry to the territory of Georgia. During their accreditation period they stay in the country and cross the border on the basis of accreditation card issued according to the determined rule of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, if other is not provided by international obligation.

Foreign nationals who have a multiple entry US, EU or Schengen member states visas, which have validity for one year or more and had been used once at least, can enter or stay on the territory of Georgia without visa up to 90 days, within the validity term of the visa.

Theft or loss of a valid passport must be reported to the police and a police report should be presented when applying for a new passport. Otherwise a passport is applied as normally. When reporting a lost passport to the police it should be noted that a report made by telephone and a registration number given  on the basis of that might not be adequate proof to the insurance company. The report can be made in person at a police station so that a report of the crime is available in writing.
