Vietnamese passport holders need an eVisa to enter Georgia. The application is online and takes about 5 business days to process. As of 2026, this is the standard entry method for tourism and short business visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply online at evisa.gov.ge at least 5 working days before departure. The eVisa costs 20 USD for single entry and is valid for 30 days. Upload a passport photo and a scanned copy of your passport data page.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Georgia. Georgia does not enforce a 6-month validity rule, but your airline might — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports regularly ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing at least 200 GEL (approx. 75 USD) per day of stay. Officers almost never check this for short visits, but it's safer to have it. | Recommended |
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. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the eVisa.
Keep a digital copy of your eVisa
Save the eVisa PDF on your phone and email it to yourself. If you lose the paper copy, you can still show the QR code from your phone at immigration.
