Dummy ticket (flight reservation) for Georgia visa: what the e-Visa portal lists

What the Georgia checklist asks for

• A two-way (round-trip) ticket reservation covering your entry and exit.
• A hotel reservation as proof of accommodation for the stay.
• A bank statement.
• Travel insurance covering the whole stay.
• The DuVerify identity check, completed as part of the e-Visa application.

Visa-free or e-Visa: which applies to you

Indian passport holders with a valid visa or residence permit of the United States, the United Kingdom or a Schengen or EU country can visit Georgia without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180. A GCC residence permit is also among the qualifying documents, which opens the visa-free route to many Indians living in the UAE and the rest of the Gulf; the validity your permit needs was not confirmed, so check before you travel.

Everyone else applies for the e-Visa at evisa.gov.ge. It is valid for 120 days, allows up to 30 days per entry, and is decided in about five working days. There is no visa centre and no embassy visit. Note the separate US$15 DuVerify identity check, which the portal makes mandatory on top of the consular fee.

What the official document list says

The portal lists the documents in its own words. Two are travel bookings: a “Two-way (round-trip) ticket reservation” and a “Hotel reservation (proof of accommodation)”. The others are a bank statement and travel insurance for the whole stay.

The list says reservation, not ticket. That is a fair description of what the desk issues: a genuine airline reservation in your name, held without payment for as long as the airline allows. An edited or invented ticket is something else entirely. It is document fraud, and it puts this and future applications at risk.

The 2026 insurance rule

From 1 January 2026, health and accident travel insurance is reported to be mandatory for all foreign visitors to Georgia, not only e-Visa applicants, with minimum cover reported at 30,000 GEL. Border officers may refuse entry without it, so visa-free travellers need a policy too.

Make the policy dates match your round-trip reservation and hotel nights exactly. A policy that starts the day after you land, or ends before your flight home, is an easy way to make an otherwise tidy file disagree with itself.

Timing, and combining Georgia with Azerbaijan or Turkey

Order the round-trip reservation on the day you submit the e-Visa at evisa.gov.ge, and check the names and dates before you upload it. A decision in about five working days is a week of calendar time, and the airline will usually release an unpaid hold well before then; the reservation records the trip you applied with.

If you are combining Georgia with Azerbaijan or Turkey, book one multi-city reservation so each country sees the same dates. Azerbaijan has its own ASAN e-Visa, and Turkey’s conditional e-Visa depends on a Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa, so the visa that gets you into Georgia visa-free may also open Turkey.

Flying from India to Georgia

Your reservation should follow a route you could realistically fly. These are common options; schedules change, so the desk confirms what is bookable for your dates.

Mistakes to avoid with a Georgia application

• Applying for an e-Visa when you already qualify for visa-free entry with a US, UK or Schengen visa.
• Sending a one-way booking. The list asks for a two-way, round-trip reservation.
• Skipping travel insurance because you are visa-free. It is reported mandatory for all visitors from 2026.
• Leaving the US$15 DuVerify step out of your budget and timeline.
• Insurance and hotel dates that do not match the reservation.

Dummy ticket and hotel bookings, matched to your itinerary

We do not send one loose document. The desk matches the flight reservation and every hotel booking to your itinerary: the same dates, the same cities, and no night left uncovered. These are the real documents of one order for a Switzerland visa file, issued on 5 November 2026: one flight reservation and four hotel bookings that cover all 9 nights between the two flights. Personal details are blacked out; everything else is as issued.
