Complete it in BLOCK letters and upload scans of your supporting documents and a digital photo (472 x 610 pixels, ICAO standard). - Book a slot on the VFS Georgia India site. Go to the VFS Global Georgia booking page, choose your centre and date, and note your reference. - Print and sign. Print the application form and sign it. For minors, a legal guardian signs; if a third person submits for you, carry their authorisation. - Prepare one set of hard copies. VFS takes one set of copies; your originals are for verification only. - Attend and pay. At the centre, pay the visa fee of INR 1790 (USD 20) and the VFS service fee of INR 1500 by cash or card. The visa fee is non-refundable and its INR value follows the current exchange rate. - Upload the VFS receipt. Scan the VFS payment receipt and upload it to your application on geoconsul.gov.ge. The Embassy checklist asks for a document evidencing payment of the 20 USD visa fee. - Track and collect. Use VFS "track your application" to follow delivery to the Embassy and the return of your passport. ### What should you carry to the VFS centre? - Passport issued within the last 10 years, valid at least three months beyond the visa, undamaged, with at least two empty pages. - The signed application form and your VFS appointment confirmation. - A copy of your ticket purchase or ticket booking. - Proof of accommodation: hotel reservation, rental agreement, or an invitation confirming accommodation. - Proof of funds, such as a bank statement for the last three months stamped and signed by the bank, or a sponsor's letter. - Travel and health insurance valid for your whole stay and all over Georgia, covering health-related expenses and death. - A document confirming the purpose of travel, and a notarised invitation if someone in Georgia invites you. - For minors: consent of legal representative(s) with the birth certificate, notarised and apostilled from the MEA within 6 months. If your photo is not ready, VFS says the photograph can be clicked at the centre. ### What happens after your appointment? Processing for a short-term visa takes a minimum of 10 working days, counted from the day the application is delivered to the Embassy, not from your appointment. VFS also quotes a minimum of 10 calendar days on its long-term tab, so leave a margin. The e-Visa support desk cannot give updates on Embassy applications, and only you or your legal representative can get information about the decision. A single-entry visa allows up to 30 calendar days. A multiple-entry visa is only for applicants who visited Georgia at least once during the previous year and have grounds for multiple entries, with stays capped at 90 days in any 180. If the visa is refused, you can appeal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within 10 business days of learning of the decision. The appeal must be in Georgian or come with a certified Georgian translation. ### Booking mistakes to avoid - Booking a VFS slot before completing the geoconsul.gov.ge form. - Forgetting to upload the VFS payment receipt to the Georgian portal after paying. - Booking a satellite centre without budgeting for the INR 846 courier charge. - Counting processing days from your appointment instead of from delivery to the Embassy. - Paying for a sticker visa when your US, UK or Schengen visa already allows visa-free entry.
