Are there any transfer restrictions to/from Georgia by correspondent banks due to the political situation there?

They maybe coming. The EU and US are upset at a democratic election result that didn't go in their favour so who knows what they might do next.

First, you will meet a lot of restrictions from your georgian bank. Transfers in/out outside Georgia will go through heavy scrutiny and easily refused if the monkey does not understand or simply is in a bad mood.

id be very careful as the restrictions often happens to be retroactively applied as well today. So Id restrict it to foreign accounts ready to be lost.
 
A guy working as a C-level of an EMI told me that Banking Circle suspended their client's USD payments to/from Georgia about four months ago.
It seems that Georgia already in the black-list of Banking Circle and its Correspondent Bank : (

Not that I have noticed. Georgian banks can be very picky when it comes to business transfers, often wanting a lot of supporting documentation. Most expats seem to use Wise and/or crypto for personal transfers.

The EU will continue to try to meddle in Georgian politics but we are yet to see if the next US administration will stop the shenanigans from their end.
