What Is the Georgia eVisa?
The Georgia eVisa is an electronic short-stay visa issued through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia’s official e‑Visa portal. Launched as a digital alternative to consular sticker visas, the e‑Visa portal lets applicants worldwide request a short-term C-type visa without visiting an embassy. The system accepts scanned passport pages, a passport-style photo, proof of accommodation and travel purpose, and online payment to complete a fully electronic application.
Applications are submitted at evisa.gov.ge or via authorised providers like DoVisa for guided completion and document checks. After approval you receive a downloadable e‑Visa file by email — print the PDF and carry it with your passport. Processing times vary by visa type and chosen service level; some variants are processed in as fast as 7 days while others may take longer depending on review requirements.
The Georgia eVisa grants the same rights at the border as an ordinary sticker visa and is accepted at official entry points — it is an entry visa, not a substitute for national residency or long‑stay permits. Important recent policy changes include the January 1, 2026 requirement that tourists carry valid travel health and accident insurance covering their stay — confirm your insurance before travel.
For full entry rules see Georgia visa information and the official e‑Visa portal at evisa.gov.ge. When you’re ready, Apply now and choose the visa variant and processing speed that matches your trip.

Travel Tips for Georgia Visitors
Georgia spans the Caucasus, from Tbilisi’s historic core to mountain villages and Black Sea resorts. Most international flights arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS); regional gateways include Batumi and Kutaisi. Transfers from TBS to central Tbilisi are about 17 km and typically take ~27 minutes by car.
- Best time to visit: Late spring to early autumn (May–September) for warm weather and mountain access.
- Currency: Georgian Lari (GEL) — cash and cards are widely used; USD is often accepted in larger tourist businesses but carry GEL for local markets.
- Language: Georgian is the official language; English is commonly spoken in Tbilisi and tourism areas.
- Time zone: Georgia Standard Time is GMT+4.
- Insurance & documents: Carry your travel health & accident insurance documentation (required from Jan 1, 2026) and a printed copy of your e‑Visa or PDF approval.
- Safety: Avoid the Russian‑occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia — these areas are closed to most travellers and present security risks.
- Local customs: Be prepared for rapidly changing mountain weather; dress in layers when exploring higher elevations such as Svaneti and Kazbegi.
- Respect the environment: Single‑use plastic restrictions apply — prefer reusable alternatives and follow local waste rules.
