eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Georgia. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. Without it, you'll be denied boarding.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Georgia, not from the day you apply. If it's close to expiring, renew it first.
