Official wording
Publics concernés : ressortissants géorgiens souhaitant entrer sur le territoire de la Nouvelle-Calédonie … Objet : suppression des exemptions de visa accordées aux ressortissants géorgiens pour entrer et séjourner sur le territoire de la Nouvelle-Calédonie pendant trois mois par période de six mois. … Dans le tableau figurant au 1 de l'annexe II de l'arrêté du 22 juillet 2011 susvisé, la ligne intitulée « Géorgie » est supprimée.
Aevamo’s reading
The arrêté du 22 juillet 2011 (as consolidated) is the instrument that imposes the visa requirement on foreigners entering New Caledonia (Article 1(b)) and grants the exemptions in Annex II; it is the text that creates the obligation rather than one that reports it.
The arrêté of 28 May 2025 suppresses the visa exemptions previously granted to Georgian nationals by deleting the 'Géorgie' line from Annexe II part 1 of the arrêté du 22 juillet 2011; with the entry gone, no exemption remains and Article 1(b) of the 2011 arrêté requires a visa, so Georgian passport holders must obtain one in advance.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
