Passport Regulations & Technical Notes

Six-Month Validity Rule:

Your Georgian biometric passport must maintain a minimum of 6 months of remaining validity calculating from the exact date you intend to enter Saudi Arabia. ✧

Scan Integrity and MRZ Matching:

The data you enter must exactly match the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) at the bottom of your passport. For Georgian applicants, while the passport includes Kartuli script, the MOFA system utilizes the Latin transliteration provided in the MRZ. Ensuring that names containing specific Georgian phonetics are matched exactly to the Latin characters in your passport is vital to prevent automated rejections. Our application review process handles this technical formatting for you. ✧

The Essential Digital Portfolio:

✧ Georgian applicants must prepare the following before initiating the application form:

• Valid Georgian Biometric Passport.

• A recent passport-style photograph (Digital format, clear white background).

• A valid credit or debit card for international transactions. ✧
