Key Requirements

  • Valid passport
  • Valid approved-country visa or residence permit if using the visa exemption; confirm any supporting-document request for your eVisa application
  • Recent passport-size photograph
  • Health and accident insurance covering at least GEL 30,000 throughout the stay, including arrival and departure, for ordinary tourists
  • Proof of accommodation, such as a hotel booking or rental agreement for the entire stay

Step-by-Step Application Process

  1. 1

    Use Georgia's official entry checker and select Indian ordinary passport

  2. 2

    Enter the country that issued any valid supporting visa or residence permit

  3. 3

    If the visa-free rule applies, carry the valid supporting document for border inspection

  4. 4

    If offered the eVisa route, submit the online application and pay the consular fee before travel

  5. 5

    Complete mandatory DuVerify within 24 hours of the first application step using the emailed link; the additional fee is USD 15 per applicant

  6. 6

    If neither applies, confirm the Georgian consular visa route

Documents Required

  • Passport scanned in a single PDF for the eVisa application
  • Recent photograph
  • Health and accident insurance policy in Georgian or English: at least GEL 30,000, valid throughout the Georgia stay including arrival and departure; paper or electronic copy
  • Hotel booking confirmation
  • Flight tickets
  • Credit/debit card for payment

Pro Tips

  • Carry a printed eVisa if travelling on that route; keep the documents used in the application available at the border.
  • Check that health and accident insurance covers Georgia for the full stay with at least GEL30,000 cover. Carry the policy in Georgian or English, on paper or electronically.
  • If a sponsor funds the trip, obtain a dated, signed letter identifying the sponsor, contact details, relationship, destination, duration and costs covered.
  • Read both the permitted stay and the validity dates on your issued eVisa; a longer validity window does not allow a longer stay.

Important Notes

  • • Official eVisa country and generic application guidance differ on supporting documents; confirm the requirements shown for your Indian ordinary passport
  • • A valid supporting visa or residence permit from an approved country can allow 90 days in any 180 days
  • • The supporting document must be valid on the day of entry
  • • Border authorities make the final admission decision
  • • From 1 January 2026, ordinary tourists must carry qualifying health and accident insurance in Georgian or English, on paper or electronically; specified diplomatic, treaty-based and international road-transport categories are exempt
