Notes

Important notes

Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Where this page's destination notes ask for an apostille or a specific translator, follow those notes; otherwise a translation notarised by a Notary Public is the usual standard.
Income proof for Georgian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) — pick the bundle matching your active income source.
Georgia is NOT in the EU and NOT in the Schengen Area — it operates an independent visa system with three pathways for Nepalis: (1) e-Visa online (fastest, 5 working days), (2) sticker visa at VFS Kathmandu (10–15 days), (3) visa-free entry for holders of valid Schengen / US / UK / OECD short-stay visa or residence permit.
Schengen / US / UK / OECD multi-entry visa or residence permit holders DO NOT need a Georgian visa for stays up to 90 days in any 180-day period — present the original document at the port of entry. This is a unilateral Georgian reciprocity rule effective since 2015 — much broader than the EU's Decision 565/2014.
GOOD NEWS for Nepal: the e-Visa pathway is the simplest and cheapest Schengen-equivalent visa available to Nepali passport holders — fully online, no embassy / VFS visit needed for short-stay tourism / business / treatment. Many Nepalis use Georgia as a "Schengen lite" travel destination.
Biometrics are NOT required for Georgian e-Visa or sticker visa. (Georgia is not in Schengen and does not operate the SIS biometric system.)
Travel medical insurance is recommended but NOT mandatory for Georgian short-stay visas. For long-stay residence permits, comprehensive Georgian health insurance from a registered Georgian insurer is required.
For Type D long-stay residence permits, applications are filed at any Georgian Public Service Hall (Sakrebulo) IN GEORGIA after arrival on a short-stay visa. Pre-arrival residence-permit applications via embassies are limited and rarely used.
Georgia uses Georgian Lari (GEL) — 1 USD ≈ 2.7 GEL (2026). Georgia is NOT in the Eurozone.
Georgia has a liberal foreign-investor regime: any non-EU national can register a Georgian company online via the Public Service Hall (no minimum capital required for an LLC), and ownership of a registered Georgian business is grounds for a 1-year work-and-investment residence permit.
Tbilisi and Batumi are popular destinations for Nepali students (low-cost MBBS programmes at Tbilisi State Medical University, David Tvildiani Medical University) and workers (hospitality, tech, agriculture). Long-stay Type D applications via Georgia have grown rapidly since 2018.
Georgia is one of the friendliest visa regimes in the world for Nepali passport holders — the e-Visa approval rate is consistently > 90 % for first-time applicants with clean travel history and clear funds proof.
Common refusal patterns for Nepal e-Visas: incomplete documentation (no return ticket, no hotel booking), unexplained funds source, prior overstays in any country, single applicants under 30 without dependants travelling without itinerary specifics.
