Tunisian passport holders need a visa to enter Georgia. You must apply for it in advance at a Georgian embassy or consulate — there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Tunisian nationals. Plan ahead, as the process takes time and requires a valid passport with at least six months of validity.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for GeorgiaYou cannot get a visa on arrival or use an eVisa; you must get a visa sticker from a Georgian diplomatic mission before you fly. Apply at an embassy/consulate | Tunisian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Georgia. The eVisa program is not available for Tunisian citizens, so you must apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate. Submit your application well in advance of your planned travel 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 the expiry date before booking anything. | 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 visa and entry/exit stamps. Ensure there are no tears or markings on that page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketYou must prove you will leave Georgia before your visa expires. Proof of departure from Georgia | 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 fundsBorder officers may ask how you will support yourself during your visit. Sufficient money for your stay | Be ready to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Georgia, such as bank statements, credit cards, or cash. The exact amount is not fixed, but it should cover accommodation, food, and other expenses. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceMedical care abroad can be expensive; insurance protects you. Recommended for medical coverage | Although not mandatory for a visa, travel insurance covering medical expenses and emergencies is strongly recommended. It can also help if you need to extend your stay or face unexpected issues. | Recommended |
| Accommodation detailsProof of where you will stay helps show your travel plans are genuine. Hotel booking or invitation | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Georgia. This may be requested during visa application or at border control. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can proceed directly to passport control after landing. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Tunisia passport holders entering Georgia. You do not need to fill out any additional form upon arrival. | Not required |
No visa, no entry — no exceptions
Tunisian passport holders cannot get a Georgian visa at the border or online. Arriving without a visa means immediate refusal and a return flight at your own expense. Apply well in advance.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Georgia. If it expires sooner, even by a day, you'll be denied boarding and entry. Check your passport now.
No Georgian embassy in Tunisia
You'll likely need to deal with the Georgian Embassy in Rabat, Morocco, or another regional mission. This can add time and cost — factor in courier shipping and possible travel for an interview. Start the process early.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the Georgian diplomatic mission that covers your residence. In Tunisia, that's the Georgian Embassy in Rabat, Morocco, or the consulate in Tunis if one exists. Call or email to confirm their visa application procedures, required documents, and appointment scheduling.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport, photos, application form, flight and hotel bookings, bank statements, and any other required paperwork. Make copies of everything — the embassy will keep the originals for processing.
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 can send your documents by courier. Pay the visa fee and receive a receipt. Ask for a tracking number if they offer one.
4
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can take longer during peak seasons. Check the embassy's website or call to follow up if you haven't heard back within two weeks.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Verify the dates and spelling of your name before leaving the embassy. If anything is wrong, ask for a correction immediately.
6
Arrive in Georgia and pass through immigration
At Tbilisi International Airport or another entry point, present your passport with the visa to the border officer. They may ask about your stay — answer honestly. Keep your accommodation details handy.

Frequently asked questions
No. Tunisian citizens are not eligible for visa-on-arrival in Georgia. You must obtain a visa from a Georgian embassy or consulate before you travel. There is no exception at the border.
