Taiwanese passport holders need a visa to enter Georgia. You must arrange this before you travel — there's no visa-on-arrival option for Taiwan nationals, and Georgia's eVisa system does not apply to you. Plan ahead and apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate.

|---|---|---|
| Visa for GeorgiaYou need a visa before you go; you cannot get one on arrival or via eVisa. Apply at embassy/consulate | Taiwanese passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Georgia.

No visa on arrival — don't chance it
Taiwan passport holders cannot get a Georgian visa at the border. If you fly to Georgia without a visa, you'll be refused entry and sent back. Always secure your visa before departure.
eVisa not available for Taiwan passports
Georgia's eVisa system is not open to Taiwan nationals. Ignore any online advice suggesting otherwise — you must apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate
Find the Georgian embassy or consulate responsible for Taiwan (often the one in Tokyo, Japan, or another regional office). Call or email to confirm their visa application procedures, required documents, and appointment availability.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, travel itinerary, bank statements, insurance, and fee. Make copies of everything — you'll need them for the application and for your own records.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or an interview. Some embassies accept applications by mail. Follow their instructions precisely to avoid delays.
4
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can take longer. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have your visa in hand.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Check that all details (name, dates, visa type) are correct before you leave the embassy.
6
Arrive in Georgia and go through immigration
At the airport (usually Tbilisi International Airport), present your passport with the visa to the border officer. They may ask about your stay — have your accommodation and return flight details ready. Your passport will be stamped with your entry date.
