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 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. We confirm your exact all-in total in writing before you pay anything.
