Vietnam to Georgia visa requirements

Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Georgia and can apply online for a Georgia e-Visa (short-term Type C) before travel. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Vietnamese citizens. Georgia is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. A Vietnam (VN) ordinary passport holder traveling to Georgia (GE) for tourism or a short visit must obtain a visa in advance. Georgia operates an official electronic visa system (evisa.gov.ge) run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Vietnam is on the eligible list for the short-term (Type C) e-Visa. The e-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days within a 120-day validity period and is issued as a single- or multiple-entry visa. The official government fee is USD 20 plus a 2% online service charge, and processing typically takes about 5 business days. Applicants apply entirely online: complete the form, upload a passport copy and biometric photo, provide proof of accommodation, a return/onward ticket, travel insurance and proof of sufficient funds, pay by card, and print the approved e-Visa to present at the border. Georgia is NOT in the Schengen Area or the EU, so the Schengen 90/180-day short-stay rule and the EU ETIAS authorization are irrelevant to this route. As of 2026-05-30, the verdict is e-Visa required. Travelers should apply only via the official portal evisa.gov.ge to avoid third-party markups.
