Official Information

Overview

Immigration visa for foreign nationals entering Georgia to reunite with family members who are Georgian citizens or residents.

The D4 Family Reunification Visa is established under the Law of Georgia on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons, reflecting the country's commitment to supporting the integrity of family units. It fills the gap for foreign nationals who wish to reside in Georgia to be with family members who are already living there legally, typically as holders of D1, D2, or D3 visas, or as permanent residents. This visa ensures that families can remain together while one or more members pursue professional, academic, or other authorized activities in the country.

This visa is intended for the spouses, minor children, and other dependent family members of foreign nationals who hold a valid Georgian visa or residence permit. It is ideal for those seeking to join a family member already established in Georgia. The visa is distinctive because it is strictly dependent on the legal status of the primary resident; applicants must provide proof of their family relationship and evidence that their relative is a legal resident. It provides a clear, legal pathway for dependents to accompany their family members throughout their stay.
