No visa on arrival or e-visa
Moroccan citizens cannot get a Georgian visa on arrival or through an e-visa. You must apply at a Georgian embassy or consulate in advance. Don't plan to 'sort it out' at the airport — you'll be denied boarding.
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 10 business days or longer. Apply at least 3-4 weeks before your trip to avoid last-minute stress. Also, don't book non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate that handles visa applications for Moroccan residents. In Morocco, this is typically the Georgian Embassy in Rabat. Call or email them to confirm the exact requirements, fees, and whether you need to apply in person or can submit by mail.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, accommodation proof, funds proof, itinerary. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application
Submit your completed application and documents to the embassy or consulate. If applying in person, you'll likely have a short interview. If by mail, use a tracked courier service. Pay the visa fee at this stage.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — typically 5 to 10 business days, but it can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Avoid booking non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker, or have it mailed back. Verify the visa details (dates, validity) are correct before you travel.
6
Travel to Georgia
Arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (or other entry points). Present your passport with the visa to border control. Have your accommodation and return ticket ready in case they ask. You'll receive an entry stamp allowing your stay.
