Mozambican passport holders need an eVisa to enter Georgia. You must apply online before you travel — there's no visa-on-arrival option. This requirement is in effect for 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for your Georgian eVisa at evisa.gov.ge. Processing takes 5–10 business days, so submit at least 2 weeks before departure. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Tbilisi Airport will check it.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Mozambique passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Georgia. Georgia does not enforce a 6-month validity rule, but your airline might — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Georgia | Immigration officers at Tbilisi Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave Georgia within your eVisa's validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Georgia rarely checks this at the border, but having it ready avoids delays if asked. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly 100 GEL per day of stay. Immigration rarely asks for it, but budget airlines sometimes request proof before boarding. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or land border. You must have an approved eVisa before you fly. Airlines check this before boarding.
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Georgia. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the eVisa.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your eVisa online
Go to evisa.gov.ge, fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 5–7 business days. Apply at least 2 weeks before your trip.
2
Pack your documents
Print your eVisa approval, keep a digital copy on your phone, and have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. Save screenshots of everything.
3
Arrive at Tbilisi International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for non-Georgian passports. Hand over your passport and eVisa printout. The officer may ask for your return ticket or hotel booking — show the screenshot. You'll get an entry stamp and you're in.

Exit Georgia
At departure, go through passport control again. No special forms needed. Just your passport and boarding pass.
