How to pay an immigration overstay fine in Georgia (Batumi), including on weekends or at the border?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago
TL;DR
Fines are usually paid via bank terminals (e.g. TBC) or online services, but on weekends some branches/services may be unavailable; paying overdue fines directly at the border is not guaranteed, especially with multiple fines overdue 60+ days.
What the community said
Travelers with multiple overdue fines (in one case, 4 fines overdue more than 60 days) ask whether this can be resolved right at the border on entry to Georgia. There's no confirmed guarantee this works — it's safer to clear fines in advance rather than rely on the border crossing point.

One of the main banks used to pay immigration fines in Georgia is TBC Bank, via its terminals. The issue is that on weekends TBC terminals or branches may not be operating, which complicates paying a fine urgently.

Since offline payment points (bank terminals) may be closed on weekends, it's worth checking in advance whether the fine can be paid online (via Georgia's government services portal or a bank's mobile app) to avoid depending on branch working hours.
