9 Western countries (the United States, Great Britain, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Ukraine) have already sanctioned more than 230 representatives of the Georgian Dream, 138 of whom have been made public, while the rest have been subject to anonymous travel or visa restrictions, according to information released by the non-governmental organization Transparency International Georgia.

“The Western world has already sanctioned more than 230 representatives of the Georgian Dream, of whom 138 have been named publicly, while the rest have been subject to anonymous visa / entry restrictions.

Below is a full list of these individuals, which includes: members of the illegitimate government and Parliament, high-ranking officials of the law enforcement and security systems, Georgian Dream members and associates, judges, prosecutors and police officers, municipal leaders, business leaders, propagandists and family members of these individuals.

Democratic countries have imposed sanctions on these individuals for various reasons, including: brutally cracking down on peaceful protesters, undermining democracy, stalling Georgia’s European integration process, advancing Russian interests in Georgia, rigging elections, corruption, propaganda, and going against the will of the Georgian people.

Since Spring 2024, several countries have imposed anonymous visa / entry bans on Georgian Dream representatives, affecting more than 200 individuals:

The United States – has imposed visa restrictions on more than 110 individuals (see full timeline below), including: members of the Georgian Dream party, members of Parliament, senior government and municipal figures, law enforcement and security officials, corrupt business leaders, propaganda actors, some private citizens, and family members of all these individuals.

The names of these individuals are not made public due to visa confidentiality laws. However, for each of these individuals, their immediate family members are also under visa restrictions, meaning that the actual number of affected individuals is several hundred.

Germany – has imposed anonymous entry bans on 13 Georgian citizens “primarily responsible for the violence against protesters and opposition members”. However, a local media organization has stated that it had obtained the names of the initial 9 sanctioned persons from a reliable source.

Latvia – has imposed anonymous entry bans on 84 Georgian citizens.

Poland – has imposed anonymous entry bans on 8 representatives of Georgian law enforcement authorities responsible for the violence against protesters.

On January 27, 2025, the European Council made the significant decision to suspend visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats and officials. This measure serves as a direct response to the alarming democratic backsliding and human rights violations occurring in Georgia.

As per the press release issued by the European Council, the visa facilitation agreement will be suspended for the following categories of individuals:

• Members of Georgia’s official delegations who participate in official meetings and other events held in the territory of an EU country by intergovernmental organisations.
• Members of Georgia’s national and regional Governments and Parliaments, Georgia’s Constitutional Court and Supreme Court.
• Holders of diplomatic passports.

In late June 2025, the Georgian Dream Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament confirmed that the visa free regime for Georgian diplomatic and service passports had already been suspended by 11 EU member states: Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Italy.

It is likely that this restriction affects at least 1000 Georgian officials and their family members, based on the number of official positions that are eligible for a diplomatic or service passports (up to 700), the quotas allocated for various institutions to give out such passports to its employees (up to 200), as well as the ability of the Prime Minister to issue such passports on an ad hoc basis.

On February 13, 2025, the European Parliament adopted another critical resolution, which does not recognize the self-proclaimed government of the Georgian Dream and calls on the party to halt violent repression and call for new elections. The resolution urges EU member states to freeze assets and personally sanction Bidzina Ivanishvili, his family, high-ranking officials of the Georgian Dream, the enablers in the business and state structures, and propagandists.

The European Parliament's resolution called for the sanctioning of 31 individuals”, reads the ifnroamtion.
