What the community said
There is a limit on how much Georgian lari you can take out of the country — no more than 3,000 GEL in cash. This is separate from the currency declaration threshold (up to $10,000 USD), so both rules apply independently.

Bank of Georgia is the country's largest bank, but opening an account there is notably more difficult, especially for foreigners. TBC or Credo are better starting points.
