Georgia is one of the most welcoming countries in the region for visitors and newcomers. For the great majority of travellers that means no visa and no paperwork: you simply arrive and stay under the visa-free regime, sometimes for up to a full year. If that’s you and you’re just visiting, you don’t need a visa service and you don’t need us. Where the rules do bite — for nationalities that require a visa or e-visa, for long-stay D-category visas, for extensions, and for refused or complicated cases — a single mistake can cost you time, money or even entry. That is where Georgiafy steps in: we handle the paperwork correctly so you can focus on your move or your trip.

As of 2026, immigration and visa rules in Georgia continue to evolve, so we always confirm your specific situation against the official portals at geoconsul.gov.ge and evisa.gov.ge before we act. The notes below are general guidance, not a substitute for that check.

Do you even need a visa?

The first thing we tell many clients is reassuring: you may not need a visa at all. Citizens of a large group of countries — including the US, the EU, the UK, the Gulf states and many others — can enter and stay for up to a full year without one. Others can apply for a Georgian e-visa entirely online. And some nationalities, such as Indian citizens, generally need a visa unless they hold a qualifying third-country visa or residence permit. We start every engagement by working out exactly where you fall, so you never pay for a service you don’t need.

When we step in

We don’t sell a visa service to everyone. We help only in the situations that actually require it. If you’re visa-free and simply visiting, none of this applies to you. We step in when:

• Your nationality requires a visa or e-visa. For travellers who can’t enter visa-free — and for nationalities that apply online via evisa.gov.ge — we prepare and check the application so it’s submitted cleanly the first time.
• You need a long-stay (D-category) visa. Whether you are coming for work, study, family reunification or to live long-term, we help you identify and apply for the right immigration (D) visa sub-category and assemble the evidence it requires.
• You need to extend or change your status. If your plans change while you are in Georgia, we advise on whether you can extend, switch category, or move to a residence permit, and we handle the filing.
• Your case was refused or is complicated. Borderline eligibility, a prior refusal, or a tangled set of documents — these are exactly the situations where help pays off. We prepare translations, notarisation, invitation letters, proof of funds, insurance and the rest, so your file is complete before it is ever submitted.
• Pointing you to the right long-stay route. A visa is often not the end goal. For stays beyond a single trip, we explain when you need a Georgian work permit or a residence permit for longer stays, and apply on your behalf.

Why work with Georgiafy

• We tell you the truth. If you don’t need a visa, we say so. If your case is weak, we say that too — no false promises and no guaranteed approvals.
• Local presence. We work on the ground in Georgia and deal with the system in person where that helps your application.
• One team for the whole journey. Visa, work permit, residence permit, banking and company setup all under one roof, so the pieces fit together.
• We keep up with the rules. Categories, fees and exceptions change. We check the official portals before every filing so your application reflects the current rules.
• Remote-friendly. Much of the process can be handled without you being in the country, and we can advise on power of attorney where it helps.

Visa, work permit or residence permit?

These three are easy to confuse, and clients often ask for one when they really need another. A visa governs your entry and short-to-medium stay; a work permit governs your right to be employed locally; and a residence permit governs your right to live in Georgia long-term. They overlap and interact in ways that matter for your plans. If you are weighing your options, our guide on how work permit, residence permit and D1 visa differ is the clearest place to start, and we will walk you through it personally.

If you work online for clients or an employer outside Georgia, you may not need any of these at all in the short term — Georgia’s visa-free regime is unusually generous for remote workers. Our digital-nomad guide explains how that works. And Indian nationals in particular should read the visa rules for Indian citizens before booking, because the qualifying-visa exception is easy to misread.

How the process works with us

1. You get in touch. You tell us your nationality, plans and timeline; we confirm what you actually need against the current official rules — and tell you plainly if you need nothing at all.
2. Route & document plan. We set out the right visa or permit category and the exact list of documents required.
3. Preparation. We collect, translate and check everything, fixing gaps before submission rather than after a rejection.
4. Submission. We file your application — online or in person — and track it through to a decision.
5. Next steps. Once approved, we advise on extensions, residence permits or any follow-on filing your situation needs.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The decision rests with the Georgian authorities. What we can do is make your application as strong, complete and correct as possible, which is the single biggest factor within anyone’s control.

I might not need a visa at all — will you still tell me?

Yes. Our eligibility check is the first step, and if your nationality lets you enter visa-free or you only need to confirm a detail, we will tell you plainly rather than sell you a service you don’t need.

Can you handle a long-stay (D) visa for work or study?

Yes. We help identify the correct D sub-category for work, study, family or other long-term purposes, prepare the supporting evidence, and submit the application. We also advise when a residence permit is the better route.

Do I have to be in Georgia to use your service?

Often not. E-visa applications are online, and much of the preparation can be done remotely. For steps that require local presence, we can advise on a power of attorney so we can act for you.

If your nationality needs a visa, or you need a long-stay D-visa or an extension, we’ll handle it for you. If you’re visa-free and just visiting, you’re all set — no service needed.
