Georgia Embassy in India / official VFS India provider requirements checked 2026-10-26. Only the category and stage stated above are covered.
How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signed GeoConsul ordinary C2 application in block letters | required | visa application | Complete the official GeoConsul electronic application for C2 friend/private visit, print and sign it, and follow the VFS India submission/appointment procedure for Embassy adjudication. Upload the supporting scans and, after VFS submission/payment receipt generation, upload the scanned receipt to GeoConsul as instructed. This is not the separate eVisa/DuVerify process. |
| Original passport: ten-year issue age, two blank pages, three months beyond visa validity | required | visa application | Use an undamaged travel document issued within ten years, with no unofficial remarks, at least two empty visa pages and validity three months beyond the requested visa’s validity. Carry the actual original for verification and include the requested hard-copy/scan evidence. |
| GeoConsul digital colour photo, 472 by 610 pixels | required | visa application | The short-stay India provider specifies a recent digital colour photograph of 472 by 610 pixels; a scanned photo is 4 by 5.16 cm at 300 DPI. Follow the actual upload instructions. These dimensions belong to this GeoConsul/VFS route; the eVisa photo guidance is separate. |
| Already-notarised individual friend invitation and enclosed notarised copy | required | visa application | Use the linked individual-inviter form completed by the Georgian-citizen friend and already duly notarised; enclose the notarised copy as the parent short-stay instructions require. Identify the host, visitor/passport, genuine relationship, purpose and dates. Confirm the precise notarial object/authority, original/copy verification handling and any issue-age rule; an Indian notary is not assumed equivalent and no age limit is invented. |
| Complete actual host identity, contact and remuneration fields | required | visa application | The linked form asks for host identity/address/contact, employer/position, fixed monthly remuneration, other income and total remuneration within the past six months, plus visitor identity/passport/relationship and travel dates. These are host-form fields; they do not create a six-month applicant bank-statement requirement. |
| Host removal-cost undertaking remains despite self-funding | required | visa application | The form separately permits Yes/No choices for accommodation and financial resources. Record the actual choices; this applicant funds hotel and trip. The host nevertheless undertakes all removal expenses if the visitor violates stay rules and a removal decision is issued. Declining ordinary sponsorship does not erase that undertaking. |
| Genuine hotel reservation covering the trip | required | visa application | Provide actual secured accommodation, such as the hotel reservation for the entire itinerary. This scope does not rely on the host providing private-home lodging or a financial/accommodation waiver. |
| Chosen own-funds proof: three-month bank statement, stamped and signed | required | visa application | The ordinary C checklist requires financial proof and lists the last three months’ bank statement duly stamped and signed among alternatives such as sponsorship or other proof. This scope chooses the applicant bank-statement branch. The examples are not a universal cumulative bank-plus-sponsor-plus-grant requirement; no applicant ITR or payslip period is invented. |
| Travel tickets or booking and genuine return intention | required | visa application | The checklist accepts a copy of purchased travel tickets OR a booking. Keep the itinerary and return arrangements consistent with the actual visit and permitted stay; do not impose universal non-refundable purchase before approval. |
| Whole-stay Georgia-wide travel and health insurance | required | visa application | Provide insurance valid throughout Georgia for the entire stay, covering relevant health expenses and death. This scope carries health/accident cover of at least GEL 30,000 in English or Georgian. The national tourist entry notice is not used by itself to define every non-tourist C2 legal minimum; follow actual authority requests. Do not import the long-stay student four-month policy rule. |
| Supporting scans, one hard-copy set and originals for verification | required | visa application | Upload scanned supporting documents, submit one hard-copy set in checklist order without staples, and carry original supporting documents for verification under the provider’s short-stay instructions. Follow actual verification requests for the notarised invitation and other evidence. |
| Visa-fee evidence and current VFS service/courier requirements | required | visa application | Retain evidence of the applicable visa fee; the checklist names USD 20, with the actual INR conversion subject to change. Check current VFS service and satellite-centre courier requirements; the parent page excludes New Delhi from its mandatory satellite courier charge. Upload the generated receipt to GeoConsul. No DuVerify fee is imported into this consular branch. |
| Guardianship, prior penalties or civil-consent evidence only if actually applicable | conditional | visa application | This solo competent-adult friend scope has no guardianship, minor consent, spouse/civil-certificate or prior immigration-penalty branch. The checklist’s affidavit/consent and birth/marriage notarisation/MEA-apostille wording is not made a blanket adult bank-document requirement. If such a document or a genuine prior penalty is actually applicable, confirm and follow that branch before filing; no required civil document is waived. |
| Confirm short-stay consular language and translation requirements | required | visa application | A general short-stay consular accepted-language/translator-certification rule was not established by this India checklist. The parent page’s explicit translation wording occurs in its long-stay section, and the English/Georgian eVisa FAQ is a different route. Confirm any actual translation or certification request before commissioning; no automatic paid processing is selected. |
| Allow consular/VFS handling; actual single-entry stay up to 30 days | required | visa application | This guide uses the short single-entry branch of up to 30 days, subject to the actual visa. The provider indicates a minimum ten working days, while national consular guidance describes ten calendar days for ordinary short-term assessment; allow actual handling/additional requests rather than treating either as a guaranteed travel deadline. Multiple-entry eligibility and the separate eVisa rule are not assumed. |
