Georgia's D6 visa: visa for minor students
Studying in Georgia under 18: how the new D6 visa works for the student and the family members who come along.
Is this visa right for you?
Is your child going to study in Georgia? Since 1 September 2026 students under 18 at an authorised university, vocational college or school receive the D6, and so can a parent or legal representative and minor siblings until the student is 18.
What the embassy asks for
- The child's passport and a photo
- Proof of enrolment at the authorised institution
- Documents showing the parent or legal representative
- Accommodation, insurance and proof of funds
Embassies can ask for more; documents usually need a translation. We give you the exact list for your country.
