The complete list of documents required for a Georgian study residence permit
The main documents are:
1) A notarised translation of the passport into Georgian
2) An official enrolment letter from the school or university
3) A bank letter (statement)
4) Valid health insurance for the whole residence period (at least one year)
5) For people under 18, a certificate of parentage (father or mother)
Why is a notarised passport translation mandatory?
Your passport must be translated into Georgian by an official, licensed translator and certified by the legal authorities. An informal translation, or one without final certification, is not accepted by the Public Service Hall and will lead to your application being rejected.
What conditions must the bank letter (statement) meet?
The bank letter must show enough balance to cover a year of living and study costs in Georgia. It must be issued by a reputable Iranian or Georgian bank and be translated into English or Georgian and certified.
Health insurance for a study residence permit
Valid health insurance for the whole residence period is required both for the study visa and for the study residence permit. The insurance must cover accidents and treatment and be issued by respected Georgian or international companies.
Proof of financial means
Besides the bank letter, documents such as the parents’ payslips, property documents, or a financial sponsorship letter may also be needed. These documents must show that the student can cover living costs in Georgia.
Important points about preparing documents
All documents must first be translated into English and certified at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Georgian embassy, then translated once more into Georgian. This process is time-consuming and must start at least 2 months before the residence application. MoonRise manages this process for you.
