Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Georgia. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Myanmar nationals, so you must apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead and start the process early.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| VisaYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must obtain it before you fly. Required for Myanmar citizens | A visa is required for entry into Georgia. Myanmar citizens are not eligible for Georgia's eVisa program, so you must apply for a visa at a Georgian embassy or consulate before travel. Submit your application well in advance of your departure date. | 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 beyond your intended date of departure from Georgia. Check your passport's expiry date before booking travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesBorder officials need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. Ensure there are no tears or markings on that page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketThis proves you intend to leave the country before your visa expires. Proof of departure | Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Georgia within the allowed stay period. Immigration may ask to see it. | Required |
| Proof of fundsImmigration may ask how you plan to support yourself while in Georgia. Sufficient for your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, credit cards) to cover your expenses during your stay in Georgia. The amount is not fixed but should match your planned activities. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceMedical care can be costly; insurance protects you from unexpected expenses. Recommended for medical coverage | Although not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses and emergency evacuation for the duration of your stay in Georgia. | Recommended |
| Accommodation detailsImmigration may ask where you will be staying. Hotel booking or host invitation | Have the address and contact details of your accommodation in Georgia, such as a hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from a host. Keep this information handy for immigration. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can proceed directly to passport control after landing. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Myanmar citizens entering Georgia. You do not need to fill out any additional forms upon arrival. | Not required |
No visa, no boarding
Airlines will not let you board a flight to Georgia without a valid visa. Don't risk buying tickets until your visa is approved.
Start early — no eVisa shortcut
Since Myanmar is not eligible for Georgia's eVisa, you must go through the embassy process. This takes time, so begin at least 6–8 weeks before your intended departure.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Georgia. If it expires sooner, you'll be refused entry — even with a valid visa.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the Georgian embassy or consulate that covers your region (e.g., in Bangkok, New Delhi, or another nearby city). Call or email them to confirm the exact visa requirements, fees, and appointment process — these can change.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport, photos, application form, flight bookings, hotel reservations, bank statements, and insurance. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and one blank page.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or you can send documents by courier. Pay the visa fee (typically $20–$50, but confirm with the embassy). Keep the receipt.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from 5 working days to several weeks. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand. Check with the embassy for current timelines.
5
Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker in your passport. Check the validity dates and the number of entries. When you arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (or any Georgian border), present your passport and visa to the border officer. They may ask about your purpose of stay — answer clearly.
