Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Philippine passport holders must apply for a Georgian eVisa at evisa.gov.ge before departure. The application takes about 10 minutes — upload a passport scan and a digital photo. Processing usually takes 5–7 business days, so apply at least 2 weeks before your flight.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Georgia. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Georgian law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready — a bus or train ticket out of Georgia also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying — have a hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host ready. A simple booking.com reservation printout is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry evidence of at least $50 USD per day for your stay — a bank statement or credit card with available limit works. Officers rarely check this, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
eVisa processing time
Apply at least 7 days before your flight. Processing can take up to 5 business days, and weekends don't count. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the eVisa in hand.
Keep digital copies
Save your eVisa, passport, and booking confirmations as PDFs on your phone. If you lose the printout, you can still show them at immigration.
