Starting April 3, Switzerland requires Georgian holders of diplomatic, official, and service passports to obtain a visa. BM.GE reviewed the economic ties between the two countries. In January–February 2026, bilateral trade fell by 7% to USD 3.5 million. Georgian exports increased by 23%, while imports declined by 15.3%. Georgia mainly exports passenger cars, precious metal ores, petroleum products, ethyl alcohol, and hazelnuts; imports include passenger cars, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, telephones, and crude oil.
Foreign direct investment from Switzerland decreased by 23% in 2025. The trend has been volatile in recent years - over USD 10 million in 2020, a negative figure in 2021, and significant growth in 2022–2023, reaching up to USD 40 million. Historically, the highest Swiss investment was recorded in 2008 (about USD 90 million).
Remittances from Switzerland show steady growth. Georgia received USD 5.1 million in 2025, a year-on-year increase. In January–February 2026 alone, transfers totaled around USD 858,800.
Tourism has recovered close to pre-pandemic levels. After Edelweiss and easyJet launched direct flights in 2025, the number of visitors from Switzerland nearly matched the 2019 record. In 2025, Georgia hosted 9,705 Swiss visitors - just 1.7% below the 2019 peak but 35% higher than in 2024.
