About Georgia e-Visa

The e-Visa portal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepts applications from eligible nationalities, with the government fee of about US$20 paid by card. A tourist e-Visa allows a stay of up to 30 days within its validity period, and processing usually takes up to five working days. Many travellers do not need it at all: citizens of about 95 countries enter visa-free for up to one year, and holders of valid visas or residence permits of the US, UK, Schengen states and some other countries can also enter without an e-Visa. Since 1 January 2026 every visitor must hold health and accident insurance with coverage of at least 30,000 GEL for the whole stay.
