Georgia's D3 visa: study visa
The Georgian student visa in one page: when you need the D3, what goes into the file, how the embassy appointment works and what happens after you land in Tbilisi.
Is this visa right for you?
Going to a Georgian university as an adult? The D3 covers studying or doing research at an authorised institution in Georgia and study under international programmes. From 1 September 2026 students under 18 apply for the D6 instead.
What the embassy asks for
- Passport and a photo
- Proof of accommodation and a flight reservation
- Travel health and accident insurance
- Proof of funds
- The Ministry of Education's admission order and the university's acceptance letter
- Proof of tuition payment and confirmation of a foreign-language program
- The fee receipt and two signed application forms
Embassies can ask for more; documents usually need a translation. We give you the exact list for your country.

Worth knowing before you apply
