Visa and Entry to Georgia
Practical questions about entering Georgia, eVisa, residence permits, and official file preparation.
Do I need a visa to enter Georgia?
It depends on nationality, residence country, residence type, travel date and purpose. We do not give a final answer from passport nationality alone because some cases need eVisa, consular processing or extra verification.
When should I use Georgia eVisa?
eVisa is used when the traveler is eligible for short-term electronic visa processing. Before payment or submission, we check eligibility and documents because the portal does not mean every nationality or case qualifies.
What is the difference between Geoconsul and eVisa?
eVisa is for electronic visa applications when eligible. Geoconsul is broader: consular information, appointments, electronic registers and some application or visa checks. The tool depends on the file type.
What are the main residence permit types in Georgia?
Common routes include work, study, family reunification, short-term property residence, investment residence and IT residence. The permit type is chosen by real legal ground and documents, not preference alone.
When should I apply for residence?
You must be lawfully in Georgia when applying. Practically, we do not wait until the last days; passport, entry status, documents and translations should be reviewed early.
What are the usual government fees for study or work residence?
For many temporary residence files such as study, work, family and property, government fees are commonly 300 GEL for 30 days, 450 GEL for 20 days and 600 GEL for 10 days. Some routes differ, so the permit type is confirmed first.
What does a student need for study residence?
Usually passport, proof of lawful stay, university or educational institution certificate, income or bank proof, photo and fee receipt. The final list depends on university and requested residence duration.
Does buying property automatically give residence?
No. Property can support residence when it is non-agricultural and backed by proper valuation and documents. Short-term property residence is generally tied to more than USD 150,000, while investment residence is tied to more than USD 300,000 equivalent in GEL.
Is registering a company enough for work residence?
Not always. Work residence needs a real work or entrepreneurial ground, income and supporting documents. In some cases, company turnover per foreign applicant is a key part of eligibility.
Do you guarantee visa or residence approval?
No one can guarantee an official decision. We provide clear preparation, gap review and professional file organization. If the file is weak, we say that before you spend money on the wrong route.
