In this case to say that Georgia is introducing a visa regime with Armenia is wrong,&quot; he said, adding that there is a format, according to which a citizen of a country with which Georgia has a visa-free regime can visit Georgia during 180 days but stay in the country for only 90 days.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to Tabatadze, this is a standard regime which is upheld for visitors to the EU&#39;s Schengen area.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEarlier, Republic of Armenia Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epress.am\/en\/2014\/07\/23\/no-visa-regime-between-armenia-and-georgia-georgian-foreign-ministry.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000CD;\"><strong>Tigran Balayan tweeted<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that Georgia does not intend to introduce a visa regime for citizens of Armenia.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn July 22, Tbilisi announced that Georgia and the EU will migrate to a visa-free regime in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting on September 1, Georgia will apply a new visa regime for all foreign citizens.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":172784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[39627,10256,17235],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256511"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
