Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia eVisaYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must have the approved eVisa before you fly. Apply online before travel | Algerian passport holders must obtain an eVisa prior to arrival. The eVisa permits a stay of up to 30 days and is not extendable. Apply through the official Georgia eVisa portal well in advance of your trip. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of entry into Georgia. Ensure your passport does not expire before this period. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesBorder officials need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. It is advisable to have more than one blank page to avoid issues. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketA booked flight out of Georgia is often required to prove you won't overstay. Proof of departure | You must be able to show a return or onward ticket proving you will leave Georgia before your 30-day eVisa expires. This is commonly checked at check-in and upon arrival. | Required |
| Proof of fundsCarry bank statements or cash to show you can support yourself. Sufficient for your stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay in Georgia. The amount is not fixed but should be enough for accommodation, food, and transport. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceInsurance protects you from high medical costs if you get sick or injured. Recommended for medical coverage | While not mandatory for an eVisa, travel insurance covering medical expenses is strongly recommended. Georgia's healthcare system may require upfront payment for treatment. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can proceed directly through immigration without extra paperwork. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Algeria passport holders entering Georgia. You do not need to fill out any additional forms upon arrival. | Not required |
Apply early — don't risk it
The eVisa processing time is 5-7 business days, but it can stretch longer. If you apply too close to your departure, you might not get the visa in time. Aim for at least 2 weeks before your flight.
Overstaying is costly
Your 30-day stay is fixed. Overstaying even a day can result in a fine and a ban from re-entering Georgia. Set a reminder to leave on time.
No embassy visit needed
The entire eVisa process is online. You don't need to go to a Georgian embassy or consulate — just apply on the official portal and wait for the email.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Georgian eVisa portal (evisa.gov.ge), fill in the application form, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport's bio page, and pay the fee (around 20-25 USD). Processing usually takes 5-7 business days, but it can take longer, so apply at least 2 weeks before your trip.
2
Receive your eVisa by email
Once approved, you'll get a PDF via email. Check all details (name, passport number, dates) — any mistake means you'll be turned away. Print a copy and also save it on your phone as backup.
3
Travel to Georgia
Fly into Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) or any other Georgian entry point. At passport control, present your passport and the eVisa (printed or on your phone). The officer will scan your passport, verify the eVisa, and stamp you in. Keep the stamp — you'll need it when you leave.
4
Enjoy your stay — and leave on time
You're allowed up to 30 days. Overstaying even a day can result in fines or a ban. If you need to stay longer, you can't extend this eVisa — you'd have to leave and reapply.
