eVisa is the only option
Georgia does not offer visa on arrival for Nepali passport holders. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Apply early to avoid last-minute stress.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Georgia, not from your departure date. Double-check before applying.
