Georgia Standard Time (GET)

Georgia Standard Time (GET) operates at UTC+4 year-round and is the official time zone for the entire country of Georgia in the South Caucasus region. Sometimes simply called "Georgia Time," GET does not observe daylight saving time and provides a stable, uniform time reference across all Georgian regions, including Tbilisi, the nation's capital.

Importance and Global Use of GET

Georgia Standard Time (GET) is vital for coordinating public services, education, business, and transportation throughout Georgia. The consistent UTC+4 offset supports predictable scheduling across the country's diverse regions, which is crucial for national unity and economic growth, especially given Georgia's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.

Internationally, GET helps Georgia align effectively with its neighbors and trading partners in the Caucasus, Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe. Its clear, year-round time standard aids cross-border cooperation, tourism, and international investments, reinforcing Georgia's role as a transit and business hub in the wider region.
