About this Visa

The Georgia D-Category (D1–D4) visas are Immigration Visas required to move to Georgia to live, work, or study long-term. Unlike a tourist visa, this visa lets you apply for a Residence Permit once you arrive in the country. There are four main types: D1 is for workers and business owners, D2 for freelancers and interns, D3 for students, and D4 for family reunification. While mostly standard, D1 applicants now face stricter labor registration rules.
