Georgia Visa & Entry for Indians (e-Visa or Visa-Free)

Georgia has quietly become Delhi's favourite budget-Europe answer — and it offers Indians two completely different doors. Knowing which one you qualify for saves both money and a week of processing.

Door one: visa-free with a Western visa

Hold a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen state, the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel or a GCC country? You enter Georgia VISA-FREE for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. No application, no fee. Carry the qualifying visa, your bookings, insurance and funds proof. A surprising number of travellers with a US B1/B2 in their passport pay for an e-visa they never needed.

Door two: the e-visa

Everyone else applies at the official portal: USD 20 plus a 2% service charge, five working days, a 30-day visit within a 120-day window. Two 2026 additions deserve bold type:

• DuVerify: after applying you receive a document-verification link that MUST be completed within 24 hours, or the application auto-rejects. Check spam folders religiously.
• Insurance is mandatory: minimum 30,000 GEL cover, valid across all of Georgia, since January 2026.

The file

Scanned passport (6+ months validity), digital photo, return ticket, hotel bookings, the mandatory insurance, and funds proof. Scans, not phone photos — the verification system genuinely rejects blur.

Worth knowing

The e-visa is single-entry; the visa-free route is not. Tbilisi pairs naturally with Baku in one Caucasus trip — but Azerbaijan needs its own e-visa, so we sequence the two applications together.

How we work it

We check the visa-free door first (it is free), file the e-visa correctly when needed, watch the DuVerify clock for you, and arrange compliant insurance. Government fee separate, as always.
