Questions answered
Get help as you move through the application and verification steps.
01 Do Indian citizens need a visa to visit Georgia?
Most do. Unless you hold a currently valid qualifying foreign visa or residence permit, you will generally need to apply for a Georgian e-Visa.
02 Can I enter with a valid Schengen, US or UK visa?
A currently valid visa or residence permit from a qualifying country may allow visa-free entry for up to 90 days in a 180-day period. Confirm that your document and issuing country appear on Georgia’s current official exemption list before travelling.
03 How much does the Georgia e-Visa cost?
The total is commonly around USD 35–36, including the portal fee and separate DuVerify charge. Always confirm the exact amount displayed during checkout.
04 How long does the e-Visa take to process?
Allow roughly 5–15 working days as a planning range, with extra time during busy periods. Apply before committing to non-refundable travel arrangements.
05 How long can I stay on a Georgia e-Visa?
The portal describes the e-Visa as suitable for short stays of less than 90 days. Your approved e-Visa shows the exact validity and permitted duration, so use that document as the final reference.
06 What is the new travel insurance rule?
From 1 January 2026, foreign tourists must carry health and accident insurance for their full stay with at least GEL 30,000 coverage. Keep the certificate available in physical or electronic form.
