TL;DR
Yes, Belarusian bank cards generally work throughout Batumi and Georgia — the main exceptions are the Wolt and Bolt apps, which reject them. Glovo delivery and most shops/taxis accept them fine.
As of 2026, Belarusian bank cards are accepted almost everywhere in Georgia based on traveler experience, with two notable exceptions — the Wolt and Bolt apps, where card payment fails. This usually isn't a dealbreaker since there are alternatives.
The Glovo food and grocery delivery app accepts Belarusian cards without issues — card linking works smoothly, unlike with Wolt and Bolt.
Whether specific Belarusian bank cards (e.g. Priorbank Visa, MTBank Kaktus) work as virtual cards in Apple Pay in Georgia remains unconfirmed — no traveler in the chat has reported concrete experience with this yet.
