Georgia Tourist e Visa
The Georgian tourist e visa is a visa issued either as a single or multiple entry visa. Most e-visas issued by the government authorities are multiple entries.

The tourist e-visa application process is short and rest and can be done in a few minutes. You will need to provide your basic travel and personal information and upload the necessary documents. You can use the Visa to visit Georgia for vacation, tours, visit family and friends, etc.

Georgia Visa Policy
Georgia in Eastern Europe has a standard visa policy regulating the entry and exit of visitors from other countries. Visitors coming from non-visa-exempt countries must obtain a visa before making the trip; otherwise, they will not be allowed into Georgia. While Georgian citizens can enter with a valid or expired identity card or passport, Visitors with passports from Ukraine, Turkey, Switzerland, or any other European country can enter and stay for some time as long as the passport remains valid.
The Legal Status of citizens and permanently residing stateless Persons is stated in legislation introduced on September 1, 2014, and amended on June 9, 2015. The amended law allowed stateless persons and visitors from selected countries to stay in Georgia without visas for 1 year. The category of visa-free countries is no longer determined by immigration law but by a separate ordinance of the Georgian government. The ordinance was updated in 2015, with some countries removed to make the list smaller.

Key Information
Here is some vital information before applying for any of the e-visas reviewed above.
Use The Same Passport: When traveling to Georgia, ensure you use the same e-visa you used for the application. This is because the e-visa will be linked to the passport, so traveling with a different passport will be seen as having no visa. Ensure your passport will remain valid until after leaving the country; if not, apply for a new passport and use the details to apply for the e-visa.
Apply Outside Georgia: You cannot apply for an e-visa inside Georgia; E Visa applications can only be done outside the country. Only after you have received the e-visa should you travel to Georgia.
Provide Honest Answers: When you arrive at the checkpoint at the land crossings or airports, the immigration officers will question your purpose for coming to Georgia. Answer truthfully. Remember that the immigration officer or officers have legal backing to deny you entry into the country if you can’t defend your reasons for wishing you enter Georgia’s territorial borders.
Do Not Overstay: Know when your e-visa expires before making the trip and mark the date in your calendar. It is a violation to stay back after your Visa expires. If you need to stay much longer, visit the nearest immigration office in the city to apply for an extension before your current Visa expires.
Do Not Work: Georgian e visa is not a work visa, so you are not allowed to work during your stay in the country. If you wish to work, visit the nearest Georgian foreign mission to apply for a work visa.
