Georgian citizens can obtain an Indian e-Visa for tourism, business, or medical visits. You must apply online before departure. The e-Visa allows entry at designated airports and seaports. Check the official e-Visa website for the latest requirements and eligibility. No need to visit an embassy beforehand.
What the e-Visa means
The Indian e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation that lets Georgian citizens enter India for short stays. It covers tourism, business, and medical visits. You do not need to submit your passport to a visa office. The approval is sent by email. Print the authorisation and carry it with your passport.
The e-Visa is linked to your passport number. You must use the same passport to travel. If you renew your passport, a new e-Visa application is needed. The e-Visa is valid for entry at specific airports and seaports only. Check the official site for the list of designated points of entry.
Before you travel and on arrival
Apply for the e-Visa at least a few days before your departure. Complete the online form on the official e-Visa site. Upload a recent photograph and a scan of your passport's bio page. Pay the fee online. Wait for the electronic travel authorisation to be emailed to you.
When you arrive at an Indian airport or seaport, proceed to the e-Visa counter. Have your passport and printed e-Visa authorisation ready. Biometrics will be taken, including fingerprints and a photograph. The immigration officer will stamp your passport with the entry permit. Check the official site for any changes to arrival procedures.
Arriving in big cities and travelling
Major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata have international airports that accept e-Visa holders. You can also enter at select seaports. From the airport, take a prepaid taxi or use a ride app to reach your accommodation. Public transport like the metro is available in many cities.
Travelling between cities is straightforward. You can book domestic flights, trains, or buses. Your e-Visa allows you to move freely within India. Keep your passport and visa documents with you at all times. Some states may have local registration requirements for foreign visitors; check with your hotel.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to stay longer, work, or study, you need a different visa category. Apply for a regular visa at the Indian embassy or consulate in Georgia. The e-Visa cannot be extended or converted to another visa type while in India.
For employment or study, check the official Indian visa website for the correct application form and requirements. You may need additional documents such as a letter from your employer or educational institution. Processing times vary. Start the application well before your intended travel date.
