Nepali passport holders need a visa to enter Georgia. There's no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option for Nepali citizens, so you must secure a visa from a Georgian embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead and apply through the nearest Georgian diplomatic mission, as processing can take time.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for GeorgiaYou cannot get this visa online or on arrival; plan ahead and apply at an official Georgian diplomatic mission. Apply at embassy/consulate | Nepali passport holders must obtain a visa before travel. Georgia does not offer an eVisa for Nepali citizens, so you must apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate (or a visa processing center) in person or by mail. Allow sufficient processing time. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond departure | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Georgia. Check the expiry date well before you travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe border officer needs 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 no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see proof that you plan to leave the country. Proof of departure | Carry a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing you will leave Georgia before your visa or permitted stay expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of funds helps avoid questions at the border. Sufficient for stay | Be ready to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, cash, credit cards) to cover your expenses during your stay in Georgia. The exact amount is not fixed but should match your planned activities. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceMedical care can be costly; insurance protects you financially. Recommended | Although not a formal entry requirement, travel insurance covering medical expenses and emergencies is strongly recommended for your trip to Georgia. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any special arrival form. Not required | Georgia does not require an arrival declaration for Nepali passport holders based on current regulations. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationAny online eVisa application will not be accepted for your nationality. Not available for Nepali citizens | Nepali passport holders are not eligible for Georgia's eVisa program. Do not attempt to apply online; instead, use the embassy/consulate route. | Not required |
No visa on arrival or e-visa for Nepali citizens
Don't plan to get a visa at the airport or through an online portal — neither is available for Nepali passport holders. You must have a visa issued by a Georgian embassy or consulate before you board your flight.
Apply well in advance
Given that you'll likely need to apply through an embassy in another country (like New Delhi), factor in travel time and possible mailing delays. Start the process at least a month before your intended departure.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the Georgian diplomatic mission that covers your region. In Nepal, there's no Georgian embassy, so you'll likely need to apply through the Georgian embassy in New Delhi, India, or another designated mission. Email or call them first to confirm their exact requirements, appointment process, and whether they accept applications by mail.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, accommodation proof, bank statements, flight bookings, and itinerary. Make copies of everything — the embassy will likely keep the originals of some documents. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page and is valid for 6 months beyond your departure date.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy's rules, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or an interview. Some missions allow mail-in applications. Follow their instructions precisely. Expect to pay the visa fee at this stage. If applying by mail, use a secure courier and keep tracking information.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — typically 5 to 10 working days, but it can take longer depending on the embassy's workload and your specific case. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand. Check the embassy's website for current timelines and any updates.
5
Collect your visa and travel
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker in your passport. Check the validity dates and entry conditions. When you arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (or any Georgian border), present your passport and visa to the border officer. Have your accommodation details handy in case they ask. Note that your visa is not extendable, so you must leave before it expires.
