Georgia and Japan are working to simplify visa procedures for Georgian citizens wanting to travel to Japan.
In the meantime, Japan will lift its visa regime for Georgian citizens who hold diplomatic passports.
This news was announced by Georgia’s Foreign Ministry during a Japan delegation’s visit to Tbilisi.
The Ministry said an agreement, signed today, noted Georgian citizens with diplomatic passports will have an opportunity to stay in Japan for 90 days without a visa. This will come into effect on June 1, 2015.
"This agreement creates very good grounds for further continuing working to launch easier visa procedures for Georgian citizens to Japan,” the Ministry’s statement read.
Meanwhile, the two countries’ collaboration in the fields of trade and investment were the main topics discussed during the Japanese delegation's visit to Georgia.
The delegation was led by Parliamentary Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan Kentaro Sonoura.
