What documents do I need for a Georgian visa if I have a new e-passport?

An electronic passport works great for a Georgian visa - they recognize it 😊 Usually you need the passport itself, an application form, a photo, and a hotel booking confirmation, but it's best to check the current list on the embassy website since requirements can change.

Does Georgia even require a visa for Russians in 2026? Double-check how current this is, because the rules there can change 😊

If a visa is needed after all - an electronic passport will work fine. It's a regular identity document, and Georgia recognizes it. The main thing is that your passport is valid (hasn't expired) and you have free space for the stamp. For a visa you usually need: a passport or electronic passport, an application form, a 3x4 photo, proof of a hotel booking or an invitation, information about sufficient funds, travel insurance. You don't have to get a separate passport if your electronic one is in order.

I'd recommend checking the Georgian embassy website in Moscow or asking a travel agency before submitting your documents, because requirements can vary depending on the visa type and specific consular jurisdiction. Check the appointment schedule too - October can be a busy period 👍
