What happens at the border
1
Contact the Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Georgian diplomatic mission (e.g., in New Delhi, Bangkok, or Abu Dhabi) and check their visa requirements and appointment procedures. Some embassies accept applications by mail, others require in-person submission.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, accommodation proof, bank statements, flight itinerary, and any additional papers the embassy requests. Make copies of everything.
3
Submit your application
Submit your application and pay the fee at the embassy/consulate. You may need to attend an interview. Processing typically takes 5–10 working days, but can take longer — apply at least 3–4 weeks before your trip.
