Georgia e-Visa for Pakistanis: USD 20 With a Gulf, UK, US or Schengen Visa, USD 300 Without
Georgia e-visa for Pakistanis costs USD 20 with a visa or residence permit from 45 countries, or USD 300 for the C5 visa. Documents, DuVerify and refund rules.
A Pakistani can get a Georgia e-visa for USD 20 only with a valid visa or residence permit from one of 45 listed countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the UK, the US or a Schengen state. Without one, the only e-visa the portal offers a Pakistani passport is the C5 tourism visa of up to one year, at USD 300. On top of either, a separate identity check called DuVerify costs USD 15.
We selected Pakistan as the citizenship on Georgia's official e-visa application form on 28 October 2026 and read what the form returned, along with the portal's FAQ and notices. Below is the whole picture: the two routes, the 45 countries, the documents to upload, the timing, and the money you cannot get back.
Georgia gives Pakistanis two e-visa routes, USD 20 or USD 300
When Pakistan is chosen, Georgia's form says a visa is needed and asks for a supporting document. With one, the standard e-visa costs USD 20 and is single entry, valid 120 days, for a stay of 30 days. Without one, only the C5 tourism visa, costing USD 300, opens.
| Route for a Pakistani passport | Fee | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Standard e-visa (tourism, business, family visit and others) | USD 20, plus a 2% service fee | A valid visa or residence permit of one of 45 listed countries |
| C5 tourism visa, up to one year | USD 300 | No supporting visa asked for this type |
| DuVerify identity check, after either route | USD 15 per applicant | Completed within 24 hours of the emailed link |
The USD 20 visa is single entry: valid 120 days, with 30 days of stay. The form does not show the stay rules for the C5 visa beyond its name, "Tourism up to 1 year".
A Gulf residence permit counts as a supporting document
The supporting document can come from any of 45 countries in the form's list. All six Gulf states are on it, so a Pakistani with a valid Saudi iqama or UAE residence can use the USD 20 route. The UK, US, Canada, Australia, Japan and most of Europe are there too.
- Gulf: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates.
- English-speaking and Asia Pacific: United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea.
- Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
- Also listed: Israel.
The visa or permit must be valid. An expired UK visa or an iqama that has lapsed will not help, and you upload a copy of it with the application. If yours is about to expire, apply only after it is renewed. A Gulf worker can check iqama validity online before starting.
Upload eight documents, then finish DuVerify within 24 hours
Before the form opens, the portal lists the papers to prepare. Have them scanned first, because a missing file sends the application back. After paying the consular fee, an email brings a DuVerify link, and that second step must be finished within 24 hours.
- A photo of you.
- Your passport, scanned as a single PDF.
- A copy of the supporting visa or residence permit, if you use the USD 20 route.
- Proof of accommodation, such as a hotel booking.
- A round trip flight ticket.
- Travel insurance covering all of your stay in Georgia.
- Proof of money, such as three months of bank statements or an employer letter.
- Proof of the purpose of your trip, such as an invitation.
The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the visa you request, have two free pages, and have been issued within the last 10 years. You must also be outside Georgia when you apply.
The decision takes 5 working days, and the fee is never refunded
The portal says a decision takes up to 5 working days, which can stretch to 10 if officials need to look more closely. Pay within 5 hours of the payment email or the application is cancelled. The fee is not refunded, even if the visa is refused or unused.
So do not book a non-refundable flight before the e-visa arrives. A refusal costs you the USD 20 or USD 300 plus the USD 15 DuVerify fee, and a mistake in your details also costs a fresh application, because the FAQ says errors are the applicant's responsibility.
The card does not need to be in your name, which helps when a relative pays. Visa and Mastercard are accepted. The portal also states that it has no link to private companies selling e-visa help.
At the Georgian border, carry the same papers on paper
The e-visa lets you travel, but border officers can still ask for the passport, the purpose of the trip, the hotel booking, insurance and proof of money. The portal warns that a traveller without insurance for the whole stay could be refused entry.
Carry printouts, not just phone screenshots. Pakistani airports run their own checks too, and the documents that help avoid offloading are the same kind the Georgian border asks for. If you are weighing other nearby trips, read Turkey's visa rules for Pakistanis side by side with these.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 28 October 2026. We read the evisa.gov.ge application form, the About e-Visa page and the FAQ on that date, and selected Pakistan in the form's citizenship box to see the portal's own answer: visa needed, supporting document required for the standard e-visa, USD 20 fee, single entry, 120 days validity, 30 days stay, and the C5 option at USD 300. The list of 45 supporting countries is the form's dropdown. We did not submit an application, and the portal does not state the stay rules for the C5 visa. Visa-free entry for holders of certain visas is not covered on these pages, so we do not rely on it.
