    Understanding India Visas for Georgian Citizens

    India offers one of the world's most accessible visa systems for Georgian citizens through its eVisa program, launched to promote tourism and business. Unlike traditional visa processes requiring embassy visits, most Georgian travelers can complete their entire application online and receive approval electronically. The eVisa Revolution: Since 2014, India has continuously expanded its eVisa categories and made them available to more countries, including Georgia. The system now covers tourist, business, medical, and conference purposes, with processing typically completed within 3-5 business days. Georgian applicants simply fill out an online form, upload documents, pay the fee, and receive their eVisa via email. Important Distinction: Not all visa categories are available as eVisa. Employment visas, student visas, journalist visas, and long-term residence permits must still be applied for through the traditional consular process at the nearest Indian embassy or consulate (for Georgians, this is typically the Indian Embassy in Armenia or Turkey, or through VFS Global centers if available). Entry Points for eVisa: Georgian citizens holding eVisas can enter India through 28 designated airports (including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Goa, Hyderabad) and 5 designated seaports. Land border entry on eVisa is allowed at only 3 checkpoints. This is important to note when planning your travel route. Getvisa Advantage: While the Indian eVisa process is straightforward, mistakes in application forms, photo specifications, or documentation can lead to rejections. Our team has processed hundreds of Indian visa applications for Georgian citizens, ensuring your application meets all technical requirements, document formats are correct, and information is accurately presented to minimize processing delays or rejections.
    • eVisa for most purposes: Tourist, business, medical, and conference visas available entirely online
    • No embassy visit needed: Complete application from home, receive visa via email
    • Fast processing: Typically 3-5 business days for eVisa categories
    • Multiple-entry options: 1-year and 5-year tourist eVisas for frequent travelers
    • Affordable fees: Tourist eVisas from $25, among the most economical visa systems
    • 28 airport entry points: Enter through major Indian airports with eVisa
    • Some visas require embassy: Student and employment visas not available as eVisa
    • Nearest embassy for Georgians: Indian Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia or Ankara, Turkey

    India Visa Application Process

    Complete Application Process for India eVisa

    1

    Prepare Required Documents

    Gather your valid Georgian passport (6+ months validity), take a recent passport photo exactly to specifications (51x51mm square, white background, taken within 3 months), scan your passport bio page (PDF, under 300KB), and compile supporting documents (hotel bookings, flight tickets, bank statements, invitation letters if applicable). Ensure all documents are clear and readable.

    2

    Complete Online eVisa Application

    Visit the official Indian eVisa portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in), create an application, fill out all sections accurately in English (name must match passport exactly, dates in DD/MM/YYYY format), upload your photo and passport scan, and answer all questions truthfully. Double-check all information before proceeding - corrections after submission are difficult.

    3

    Await Processing & Approval

    eVisa applications are typically processed within 3-5 business days. Check your application status online using your Application ID. You'll receive the eVisa via email as a PDF document. Some applications may require additional documentation or verification, extending processing time to 7-10 days. Apply at least 2 weeks before travel for safety.

    4

    Enter India & Immigration Clearance

    Arrive at one of the 28 designated eVisa airports (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.) or 5 seaports. Present your printed eVisa, passport, and return ticket to immigration. Officers may ask about accommodation, purpose of visit, and travel plans - answer clearly and consistently with your application. Biometric (fingerprint/photo) data will be collected. Your passport will be stamped with entry date and authorized stay duration.

    5

    Determine Your Visa Category

    Choose the correct visa type based on your travel purpose: Tourist eVisa (sightseeing, visiting family), Business eVisa (commercial activities, meetings), Medical eVisa (treatment), Conference eVisa (attending events), or Student Visa (study programs - requires embassy application). Selecting the wrong category is a common reason for rejection.

    6

    Pay Visa Fee Online

    Pay the visa fee using Visa, Mastercard, or another accepted payment card. Tourist eVisa: $25 (30-day), $40 (1-year), $80 (5-year). Business/Medical eVisa: $80. Conference eVisa: $40. Keep your payment receipt and application ID safe. Payment issues are common - ensure your card allows international transactions.

    7

    Print Your eVisa

    Once approved, download and print your eVisa document. You MUST carry a printed copy when traveling to India - immigration officers at entry points require physical printout. Also save a digital copy on your phone as backup. Check that all details on the eVisa match your passport exactly.

    Tips for Getting India Visa

    Tips for a successful application

    ✅Do's

    ✅
    Apply Early: Submit eVisa application at least 2-3 weeks before your intended travel date. While processing takes 3-5 days, technical issues, payment problems, or requests for additional documents can cause delays. Never book non-refundable flights until your eVisa is approved.
    ✅
    Photo Precision: The photo requirement is the #1 rejection reason. Use a professional photo service or photo booth that understands Indian visa specs: exactly 51mm x 51mm square, white background, no shadows, recent (within 3 months), face 70-80% of frame, no glasses, neutral expression. Test different photos if necessary.
    ✅
    Match Passport Details Exactly: Your name, date of birth, and passport number on the application must match your passport character-for-character, including spacing and capitalization. Use the name as it appears in the passport's machine-readable zone (bottom two lines).
    ✅
    Choose Correct Entry Point: Confirm your arrival airport or seaport is on the list of 28 designated eVisa airports or 5 seaports. Arriving at a non-designated entry point with an eVisa will result in entry denial. Land border crossings are generally not valid for eVisa except 3 specific checkpoints.
    ✅
    Provide Accurate Accommodation Details: If staying at hotels, provide complete booking details with confirmation numbers. If staying with friends/family, provide their full address, phone number, and relationship. Immigration may verify this information upon arrival.

    ❌Don'ts

    ❌
    Don't Use Third-Party Sites for Application: Only apply through the official indianvisaonline.gov.in portal. Many fraudulent sites charge inflated fees or mishandle applications. Getvisa guides you to the correct portal and assists with form completion, but the application itself is on the official government site.
    ❌
    Don't Overstay Your Visa: Respect your visa's authorized duration strictly. Overstaying results in fines, detention, deportation, and blacklisting from future India travel. If you need to extend your stay, apply for extension at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) before your current visa expires.
    ❌
    Don't Work on Tourist or Medical Visa: Employment, paid work, or business activities generating income in India are strictly prohibited on tourist and medical eVisas. Working illegally can result in arrest, deportation, and permanent ban. If you plan to work, apply for appropriate employment visa through embassy.
    ❌
    Don't Travel Without Printed eVisa: Digital copies on your phone are not sufficient for Indian immigration. You must have a physical printed copy of your eVisa approval. Airlines may also deny boarding if you cannot show printed eVisa for India travel.
    ❌
    Don't Provide False Information: All information in your eVisa application is verified against databases. False statements about previous travel, criminal history, or purpose of visit can result in immediate rejection, possible ban, and entry denial even if visa was approved.

    💡Key Recommendations

    💡
    Consider 1-Year or 5-Year eVisa: If you plan multiple trips to India or might return in the future, the 1-year ($40) and 5-year ($80) multiple-entry tourist eVisas offer excellent value compared to applying for 30-day visas repeatedly. They allow unlimited entries with stays up to 90 days per visit.
    💡
    Register with FRRO for Long Stays: If you're staying in India for more than 180 days (e.g., on business or student visa), you must register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival. Failure to register can cause problems when exiting India.
    💡
    Check Restricted/Protected Areas: Some regions in India (parts of Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman Islands, certain border areas) require special permits beyond your visa. Research your travel destinations and apply for Required Area Permits (RAP) or Restricted Area Permits (RAP) if traveling to these zones.
    💡
    Get Professional Assistance for Complex Cases: If you've had previous visa rejections, overstayed in any country, have gaps in travel history, or are applying for business/medical visas with complex documentation, professional guidance significantly improves approval chances. Getvisa reviews your case and prepares optimal documentation.

    Frequently Asked Questions About India Visa

    Do Georgian citizens need a visa to visit India?

    Yes. All Georgian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to India. However, the good news is that Georgia is eligible for India's eVisa program, allowing you to apply entirely online for tourist, business, medical, and conference purposes without visiting an embassy.

    How long does India eVisa processing take for Georgians?

    Standard eVisa processing time is 3-5 business days for Georgian citizens. However, some applications may take up to 7-10 days if additional verification is needed. We strongly recommend applying at least 2-3 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for any unexpected delays or the need to provide additional documentation.

    What is the cost of India eVisa for Georgian passport holders?

    Tourist eVisa fees vary by duration: $25 for 30-day single/double entry, $40 for 1-year multiple-entry, and $80 for 5-year multiple-entry. Business and Medical eVisas cost $80. Conference eVisa costs $40. These are government fees; Getvisa's professional service fee for application assistance and document review is additional.

    Can I apply for India eVisa from Georgia, or do I need to visit an embassy?

    You can apply for tourist, business, medical, and conference eVisas entirely online from anywhere in the world, including Georgia, without visiting an embassy. However, for student visas, employment visas, journalist visas, and certain long-term categories, you must apply at the nearest Indian embassy or consulate (typically in Yerevan, Armenia or through VFS Global if available).

    How many times can I enter India with a tourist eVisa?

    The 30-day tourist eVisa allows single or double entry. The 1-year and 5-year tourist eVisas allow multiple entries (unlimited), but each stay cannot exceed 90 days continuously. You must leave India between visits and can re-enter after leaving. The 90-day limit resets with each entry.

    Which airports can I use to enter India with an eVisa?

    Georgian citizens with eVisas can enter through 28 designated airports including Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bangalore (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Kolkata (CCU), Hyderabad (HYD), Kochi (COK), Goa (GOI), Ahmedabad (AMD), Jaipur (JAI), and others. You can also enter through 5 designated seaports. However, you can exit India through any immigration checkpoint. Check the official list before booking flights.

    Can I extend my India eVisa after arrival?

    In general, tourist eVisas cannot be extended or converted to another visa type. If you need to stay longer, you must exit India and apply for a new visa. However, in exceptional circumstances (serious illness, force majeure), extensions may be granted by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) - but this is rare and discretionary.

    What if my India eVisa application is rejected?

    If rejected, you'll receive a notification stating the reason (usually incorrect documents, photo issues, incomplete information, or eligibility concerns). The visa fee is generally non-refundable. You can correct the issues and reapply, or apply for a regular visa through the embassy if eVisa eligibility is the problem. Getvisa pre-screens applications to minimize rejection risk.

    Do I need travel insurance for India visa?

    Travel insurance is not mandatory for obtaining an India eVisa. However, it is strongly recommended due to potential medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage. While India offers affordable healthcare, unexpected medical situations can still be costly, and comprehensive insurance (medical coverage minimum $50,000) provides peace of mind.

    Can I travel to restricted areas in India with my eVisa?

    Standard eVisas allow travel to most of India, but certain areas require additional permits: parts of Sikkim, entire Arunachal Pradesh, certain Andaman Islands, and some border regions near Pakistan and China. You need to apply for Protected Area Permits (PAP) or Restricted Area Permits (RAP) separately, which can be obtained from Indian consulates or in some cases upon arrival in the restricted state.
