Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Cameroonian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Georgia. Apply at the official Georgia eVisa portal at least 5 working days before your trip. The eVisa is single-entry and the fee varies by nationality — pay online with a credit card.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Georgia. Georgia does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but some airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Tbilisi Airport may ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave Georgia within your eVisa validity. Have a printed or digital copy ready — budget airlines check this at check-in too. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from a host in Georgia. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or cash showing you can cover your stay — around 100 GEL per day is a safe benchmark. Officers rarely check this for eVisa holders, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Apply early — processing can be slow
The eVisa processing time is 3–5 business days on average, but it can take longer during peak travel seasons or if your application needs extra review. Don't wait until the last minute.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa, passport, and booking confirmations as PDFs on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose the paper copies, you can still show them on your phone at immigration.
