Immigration visa for scientific, sports, cultural, or educational missions, freelancers, interns, volunteers, and media workers performing official duties.
The D2 Professional Activities Visa is a specialized immigration category created under Georgia's legal framework for the status of aliens. It is designed to facilitate the entry of individuals who are not seeking traditional long-term employment but are instead visiting for specific, time-bound missions. By providing a dedicated pathway for non-commercial professional engagement, it fills the gap between standard tourist travel and formal labor migration, allowing for the legal pursuit of specialized activities that contribute to Georgia's scientific, cultural, and educational landscape.
This visa is tailored for researchers, athletes, artists, volunteers, interns, and media personnel arriving for specific missions. It is ideal for those participating in international exchange programs, cultural projects, or professional internships. What makes this visa distinctive is its focus on mission-based activity rather than traditional employment; applicants must provide documentation such as a research contract, internship agreement, or invitation from a host organization, making it the primary choice for professionals engaged in short-to-medium-term, non-profit, or project-specific work.
