Immigration visa for foreign nationals entering Georgia for study, research, or participation in educational and international academic programs at authorized institutions.
The D3 Study Visa is an immigration visa category specifically designed for foreign nationals who intend to pursue long-term education or research at an authorized educational institution in Georgia. This visa is a prerequisite for international students seeking to obtain a study-based residence permit, which allows them to legally reside in the country for the duration of their academic program. It is intended for students enrolled in degree programs, exchange programs, language courses, or professional development initiatives, as well as researchers affiliated with Georgian institutions.
Applicants for the D3 visa must demonstrate their commitment to their studies by providing official documentation from their host institution, such as an invitation letter or a Rector's order. Beyond academic enrollment, the visa process emphasizes the applicant's ability to support themselves financially and their preparedness for living in Georgia, requiring proof of accommodation and comprehensive health insurance. While the visa itself is typically issued for 90 days, it serves as the essential gateway for students to transition into a long-term residence permit, ensuring they can focus on their academic goals while maintaining legal status within the country.
