Okay, so I needed to get a visa for Georgia, and let me tell you, doing it online was way easier than I thought it would be. I’m not the most tech-savvy person, but I managed to get through it, so I figured I’d share my experience in case it helps anyone else.
First off, I found out that Georgia has this e-visa thing, which means you can apply for a short-term visa without going to an embassy. Sounds great, right? It’s basically a three-step process, as far as I understood. They ask you to fill in an application online, upload some documents, and pay the fee.
Filling Out the Application
So, I started with the online application. You gotta provide all the usual stuff like your name, passport details, travel dates, and where you’re staying in Georgia. It was pretty straightforward, just filling in boxes, you know? I made sure to double-check everything because, you know, typos and mistakes can cause trouble.

Uploading Documents
Next up was uploading documents. I had to scan my passport photo page and a recent photo of myself. I also needed to upload a document proving I had a place to stay in Georgia – my hotel booking confirmation worked perfectly. Make sure your scans are clear and easy to read. I used my phone to scan, and it worked out fine.
Payment
After that came the payment part. This is where I got a little nervous, but it turned out okay. I used my Visa credit card, and it went through without a hitch. I saw some info online that they use Visa card often, so maybe that helped. They sent me a confirmation email right away, which was reassuring.
Post Application
- Wait for Processing: After submitting everything, you just gotta wait. They say it usually takes a few business days, but mine was approved pretty quickly, in like two days.
- Get Your e-Visa: Once it’s approved, they email you the e-visa. You can either print it out or just keep a digital copy on your phone. I did both, just to be safe.
Honestly, the whole process was smoother than I expected. If you’re planning a trip to Georgia and need a visa, I definitely recommend doing it online. It saves you a trip to the embassy and a lot of hassle. Just make sure you have all your documents ready and double-check everything before you submit. Good luck!
