How can I apply for a Georgia visa from Azerbaijan as a Pakistani national ?

If you are a Pakistani national on a visit visa in Azerbaijan and want to apply for a Georgia visa, you can do so by following these steps. However, as a Pakistani citizen, you will need to apply for a visa to enter Georgia, as Pakistan is not on Georgia’s visa-free list. Here’s how you can proceed:

Steps to Apply for a Georgia Visa from Azerbaijan as a Pakistani National

1. Check Eligibility

• Confirm with the Georgian Embassy in Baku whether you can apply for a Georgia visa while on a visit visa in Azerbaijan. Some embassies allow third-country nationals to apply, but this depends on the specific rules of the Georgian authorities.

2. Gather Required Documents

Prepare the following documents for your Georgia visa application:

• Completed visa application form (available online or at the embassy).
• Valid passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in Georgia.
• Passport-sized photos: Usually 2 recent photos with a white background.
• Proof of legal stay in Azerbaijan: A copy of your Azerbaijan visit visa and entry stamp.
• Proof of accommodation in Georgia: Hotel booking or invitation letter from a host in Georgia.
• Travel itinerary: Flight reservations or travel plans.
• Proof of financial means: Bank statements or sponsorship letters to show you can support yourself during your stay.
• Travel insurance: Covering your entire stay in Georgia.
• Visa fee payment receipt.

3. Submit Your Application

• Georgian Embassy in Baku: Visit the embassy to submit your application in person. The address is:
  • 44 Zarifa Aliyeva Street, Baku, Azerbaijan.
  • Contact: +994 12 497 66 03.
• E-Visa Option: Pakistani nationals are not eligible for Georgia’s e-Visa, so you must apply in person at the embassy.

4. Pay the Visa Fee

• Visa fees vary depending on the type of visa (short-term or long-term). Check the embassy website or contact them for the exact fee.

5. Wait for Processing

• Processing times for Georgian visas can vary, but it typically takes 7-10 business days or longer. Plan accordingly.

6. Collect Your Visa

• Once your visa is approved, return to the embassy to collect your passport with the visa.

Important Considerations

• Residency Requirement: Some embassies require applicants to apply from their home country or a country where they hold residency. Confirm with the Georgian Embassy in Baku whether you can apply as a Pakistani national on a visit visa in Azerbaijan.
• Azerbaijan Visit Visa Validity: Ensure your Azerbaijan visit visa is valid for the entire duration of the Georgia visa application process.
• Multiple Entries: If you plan to return to Azerbaijan after visiting Georgia, ensure your Azerbaijan visa allows multiple entries.
