You are advised to exercise a high degree of caution in Georgia because of the uncertain security situation and the serious risk of crime against foreigners.
Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
Since April 2009, opposition groups in Georgia have conducted a series of demonstrations against the government. Isolated instances of violence have occurred. Public services, transport and access to the centre of Tbilisi have been affected. You should avoid all protests and demonstrations as they may turn violent.

Crime against foreigners, including
kidnapping, also remains a serious risk.
You are advised not to travel to the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia nor to the Pankisi Gorge north of Akhmeta because of the threat of terrorist and criminal activity, and due to the danger of unexploded ordnance.
In October 2008, the Russian military withdrew from "buffer zones" on the Georgian side of the purported borders of the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. While military operations in Georgia have ceased, tensions remain and there continues to be reports of violence in and around these regions.
