Georgia Tourist Visa Cover Letter Template for Indians

The requirements below follow the Embassy of Georgia's ordinary visa checklist published through VFS Global, as published on the official sources, checked on 2026-10-15. Use the template as a structure, not a script: the officer reads your letter alongside your documents, so every sentence must match what you attach. For fees, centres and timelines, start with our Georgia visa page for Indian travellers.

Does the Embassy of Georgia ask for a cover letter?

Not in those words. The ordinary visa checklist asks for a set of documents that includes a document confirming the purpose of travel, proof of accommodation, proof of funds, travel and health insurance and a copy of tickets or a ticket booking. For a tourist, there is often no single official paper that proves the purpose of the trip. A signed letter explaining the trip, with the bookings attached, fills that gap.

Two details shape what the letter must say. First, the ordinary visa is single entry for up to 30 calendar days, or multiple entry for up to five years, which is only for applicants who visited Georgia at least once during the previous year. Second, the Embassy of Georgia at 169 Jor Bagh, New Delhi handles applications from all of India, so address the letter there whichever VFS centre you use.

What should each paragraph of the letter say?

Note the funds row. The Georgia checklist does not name ITR, Form 16 or salary slips; it asks for proof of funds such as a three-month bank statement, a sponsor's letter or a grant receipt. Mention your employment in the letter, but do not claim you have attached documents the Embassy did not ask for unless you actually include them.

How should you change the letter for a sponsor, a host or a child?

Someone else is paying

Replace the funding sentence with the sponsor's name and relationship, and enclose the sponsor's letter with proof of their funds. The checklist accepts a sponsor's letter as proof of financial funds.

You are staying with friends or family

Name the host and address, and enclose the duly notarised letter of invitation from the inviting person in Georgia. The invitation can also serve as your proof of accommodation.

A child is travelling

For minors, the application is signed by the legal guardian, and the file needs consent of the legal representative or representatives with the birth certificate. Affidavits, consent letters and birth and marriage certificates must be notary attested and apostilled by the MEA, with the apostille no older than 6 months. Write the parent's letter in the first person and list these papers as enclosures.

Do you need a cover letter for a Georgia e-Visa?

The e-Visa from evisa.gov.ge costs USD 20 plus a 2% service fee and is decided in not less than 5 working days. You print the e-Visa and carry supporting documents to the border, including a document proving the purpose of travel, insurance, proof of funds and accommodation for the entire stay. Carrying the same one-page letter with your bookings is a simple way to answer questions at immigration.

Mistakes that weaken a Georgia cover letter

• Dates in the letter that differ from the application form or the bookings.
• Asking for a multiple-entry visa without a visit to Georgia in the previous year.
• Claiming funds the bank statement does not show.
• Sending a letter that is not signed; the application form itself must also be signed and filled in BLOCK letters.
• Buying non-refundable flights before the visa decision instead of using a verifiable flight reservation.

Yatra For Fun's India office in Gurugram drafts cover letters and prepares flight reservations, hotel bookings and itineraries that match them.

Frequently asked questions

Can someone else submit my Georgia visa file at VFS?

Yes, but the checklist asks for an authorisation if the application is submitted by a third person. For a minor, the legal guardian signs the application form. Mention any such arrangement in the cover letter so the file is consistent.

How much is the Georgia visa fee I should mention in the enclosures?

The short-term visa fee through VFS Global is INR 1,790 / USD 20, and VFS charges a service fee of 1,500 INR per application. List the fee receipt as an enclosure; you also upload the VFS payment receipt to geoconsul.gov.ge.

Can I write the cover letter in Hindi?

For long-term visas, the Embassy asks for documents in Georgian or English, or with a notarised translation. Writing the tourist cover letter in English keeps it consistent with the rest of your file.

Do I need a cover letter if I hold a US or Schengen visa?

Indians holding a valid visa or residence permit listed in Georgia's Ordinance No. 256 may enter visa-free for 90 days in any 180-day period, so no visa application or cover letter is needed. The visa or permit must be valid when you cross the border.
