• Applicants will be requested to schedule the interview for enrollment in the Master’s program at a chosen Georgian University.
• Documents in a non-native language must be translated into Georgian and certified.
• The appropriate Commission will review the application and attached documentation and interview the applicant.
• In case of a positive decision after the interview, the Rector will issue written consent.
• After receiving the written consent, the applicant has to apply to the National Centre for Education Quality Enhancement of Georgia.
• Admission will be considered completed just after Ministery’s formal final decision.

After positively meeting the above criteria, let’s look at the requirements for a student visa to study for the Master’s program in Georgia.

Student Visa for the Master’s Degree in Georgia

Nationals of the EU and many other countries are allowed to enter Georgia without a visa for up to a year. Indian citizens can enter for up to thirty days in any one-hundred and twenty-day duration.

In your home country, visit a Georgian consulate and apply for a Category D3 visa. D3 is a study visa for international students. You must have the visa in your passport when you arrive at the Georgia border. The cost is about US$25, paid in the local currency, although it changes frequently. The visa is valid for ninety days from the date of arrival.

Once in Georgia, you have forty-five days to get your permit process sorted. To do this, you must visit the Public Service Hall and hand over documents like your enrolment confirmation, fee payment receipt, and passport. A few days after that, you will be issued a Student Residence Permit to reside legally in Georgia for the duration of your studies, which according to Georgian laws, can be extended if you find a job in Georgia after completing the Master’s program.
