Georgia Visa Fee by Nationality: What Each Country Pays (2026)

Georgia Visa Fee by Nationality: What Each Country Pays (2026)

The Georgia visa fee depends on your nationality: citizens of 90+ countries pay nothing (visa-free entry), eVisa-eligible nationalities pay $20-$50 USD, and those requiring a consular visa typically pay $50-$100. The eVisa government fee itself is the same for all eligible nationalities, but whether you need to pay at all depends entirely on your passport.

Many travelers search for nationality-specific fees expecting different prices for Indian, Nigerian, or Pakistani citizens. In reality, Georgia uses a uniform fee schedule for eVisa applicants. What varies by nationality is the visa category you fall into, not the price within that category. This guide breaks down exactly what citizens of each major nationality pay, or whether they pay at all.

How Georgia’s Visa Fee System Works

Georgia does not charge different eVisa fees based on nationality. Instead, the country classifies every nationality into one of three categories:

Category Fee Who Qualifies
Visa-free $0 Citizens of 90+ countries (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, etc.)
eVisa required $20-$50 Citizens of eVisa-eligible countries (India, Nigeria, Pakistan, etc.)
Consular visa required $50-$100 Citizens of countries not eligible for eVisa or visa-free entry

The eVisa fee depends on the visa type you choose (single vs. multiple entry, 30 vs. 90 days), not on your nationality. Every eVisa applicant from India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, or any other eligible country pays the same amount for the same visa type.

For a complete breakdown of fee tiers by visa type, see our guide to Georgia eVisa fees.

Georgia Visa Fee for Indian Citizens

Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Georgia and are eligible for the eVisa. They do not qualify for visa-free entry.

What Indian citizens pay:

Visa Type Validity Entries Fee (USD)
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Single entry ~$20
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Multiple entry ~$40
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Single entry ~$30
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Multiple entry ~$50

Indian citizens are one of the largest groups of Georgia eVisa applicants. The application is fully online through evisa.gov.ge, and standard processing takes 5 working days. You pay by Visa or Mastercard during the application.

Georgia Visa Fee for Nigerian Citizens

Nigerian passport holders need a visa and are eligible for the eVisa. They pay the same fee tiers as Indian and all other eVisa-eligible nationalities.

What Nigerian citizens pay:

Visa Type Validity Entries Fee (USD)
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Single entry ~$20
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Multiple entry ~$40
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Single entry ~$30
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Multiple entry ~$50

Nigerian applicants should ensure their passport scan and supporting documents are clear and legible, as incomplete or low-quality uploads are a common reason for rejection. The fee is non-refundable if the application is denied.

Georgia Visa Fee for Pakistani Citizens

Pakistani passport holders need a visa and are eligible for the eVisa. The fee structure is identical to all other eVisa-eligible nationalities.

What Pakistani citizens pay:

Short-stay eVisa 30 days Multiple entry ~$40
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Single entry ~$30

Pakistani citizens should apply at least 2 weeks before their intended travel date to account for the 5-working-day processing time and any potential delays.

Bangladeshi passport holders need a visa and are eligible for the eVisa. They pay the same standard fees as all other eVisa applicants.

What Bangladeshi citizens pay:

Visa Type Validity Entries Fee (USD)
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Single entry ~$20
Short-stay eVisa 30 days Multiple entry ~$40
Short-stay eVisa 90 days Single entry ~$30

Georgia Visa Fee for US, UK, and EU Citizens

Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, European Union member states, Canada, Australia, and over 90 other countries do not need a visa to enter Georgia. They pay $0.

Visa-free entry details:

  • No application required before travel
  • No fee charged at the border
  • Stay up to 1 year with a valid passport
  • No visa sticker or eVisa document needed

If you hold a US, UK, or EU passport, you do not need to pay anything or apply for any visa. You simply arrive in Georgia with a valid passport. For the full list of visa-free nationalities, see our Georgia visa-free countries guide.

Countries That Need a Consular Visa (Not eVisa)

Some nationalities are not eligible for the eVisa and must apply through a Georgian embassy or consulate. The consular visa (C-Visa) typically costs more and takes longer to process.

Consular visa details:

  • Fee: approximately $50-$100 USD (varies by embassy)
  • Processing time: 10-30 working days (varies by location)
  • Requires an in-person appointment at a Georgian embassy
  • Document requirements may be stricter than the eVisa

If your nationality is not listed on the eVisa portal, you likely need a consular visa. Contact the nearest Georgian embassy or consulate for specific requirements and fees.

Nationality Visa Required? Application Method Fee Range (USD)

Third-Party Fees by Nationality

Third-party visa services (iVisa, VisaHQ, and others) charge the same service fee regardless of nationality. They add $40-$80 on top of the government fee.

Service Government Fee Service Fee Total
Official (evisa.gov.ge) $20 $0 $20
iVisa $20 ~$50 ~$70
VisaHQ $20 ~$39 ~$59

These services charge the same rate whether you are Indian, Nigerian, Pakistani, or any other nationality. Applying directly through evisa.gov.ge saves you $40-50 per application.

Tips to Minimize Your Georgia Visa Cost

  1. Check visa-free eligibility first. If you hold a passport from one of the 90+ visa-free countries, you pay nothing. Always verify before applying for an eVisa.

  2. Choose the right visa type. If you only need one entry, the single-entry 30-day eVisa at ~$20 is the cheapest option. Do not pay for multiple entry unless you plan to leave and re-enter Georgia.

  3. Apply directly. The official evisa.gov.ge portal is straightforward. Third-party services charge $40-80 extra for the same result.

  4. Prepare documents before starting. Rejected applications mean a lost fee. Have your passport scan, photo, and proof of accommodation ready before you begin.

  5. Use a card without foreign transaction fees. Your bank may charge 1-3% extra if your card currency is not USD or GEL.
