These include: 10th &amp; 12th mark sheets, NEET scorecard, passport (valid for 2+ years), birth certificate, 8 passport-size photos, medical fitness certificate (HIV negative), bank statement (min. $8,000 USD), police clearance, apostilled originals, university application form, and the visa invitation letter.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s break down\u00a0why\u00a0each document matters. Because if you mess up the &#8220;legalization chain,&#8221; you\u2019re stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9CTier_1%E2%80%9D_Documents_No_Questions_Asked\"><\/span><strong>The &#8220;Tier 1&#8221; Documents (No Questions Asked)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the non-negotiables. If you miss one, don\u2019t even start the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Passport (The Golden Rule)<br><\/strong>Forget the 6-month rule. For Georgia, your passport must be valid for\u00a0<strong>at least 24 months<\/strong>\u00a0from the date of admission. Why? Because your student visa is issued for the entire course duration (5-6 years). Renewing a passport from Tbilisi is a bureaucratic nightmare.<br><em>Pro tip: If your passport expires in 2027, get a new one\u00a0now.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>10th &amp; 12th Mark Sheets (The CBSE\/ICSE\/State board headache)<br><\/strong>Georgia is strict about &#8220;backlogs.&#8221; You need a minimum of 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for General category, 40% for SC\/ST.<br><em>Crucial detail:<\/em>\u00a0The university wants\u00a0<strong>original<\/strong>\u00a0certificates. Not scans. Not color prints. The physical, stamped, original board certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NEET Scorecard (The NMC handshake)<br><\/strong>This is not optional anymore. The National Medical Commission (NMC) of India will not let you sit for the FMGE\/NExT if you don&#8217;t have a valid NEET scorecard before going abroad. Print the official PDF from the NTA website. Color print. Two copies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9CLegalization_Nightmare%E2%80%9D_%E2%80%93_Apostille_vs_Notary\"><\/span><strong>The &#8220;Legalization Nightmare&#8221; \u2013 Apostille vs. Notary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most consultancies lie to you. They say &#8220;notary is enough.&#8221; It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the document legalization process for Georgia?<br><\/strong>India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Georgia respects this. You must get an &#8220;Apostille&#8221; sticker from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi on your original documents. Notarization only verifies the signature; Apostille verifies the\u00a0seal. Without Apostille, the Georgian Registrar will reject your enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get the Apostille (Without losing your mind):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Get your documents notarized by a local notary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Get them authenticated by the State Home Department (or HRD for education docs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Submit to MEA (New Delhi or regional branches).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*Time: 10-15 working days.*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Eduwisor hack:<\/em>&nbsp;We have a dedicated legal desk in our Mumbai office.

This is to cover your first year&#8217;s living expenses and tuition buffer. The statement must be &#8220;liquid funds&#8221; (Savings or Fixed Deposit). Agricultural land or jewelry valuation doesn&#8217;t count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The &#8220;3-Month&#8221; Rule:<\/strong>\u00a0The statement must show consistent funds for the last 3 months. A sudden \u20b910 Lakh deposit yesterday looks like loan fraud. Show the transaction history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Stamp:<\/strong>\u00a0Every page must be stamped and signed by the bank manager.

The HIV test must be taken within 30 days of your visa application. Older reports are invalid.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We saw a kid from Punjab get rejected last month. Why? He had a minor scar on his lung X-ray from a childhood infection. The Georgian doctor flagged &#8220;suspicion of TB.&#8221; We had to run a sputum test (negative) and get a specialist&#8217;s affidavit. Lost 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be that guy.

A fake invitation letter gets you a 5-year ban from the Schengen zone (Georgia shares data).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We at Eduwisor have a direct digital portal with 7 Georgian universities. We submit your scanned passport and application form on a Monday, and by Friday we get the provisional acceptance.

We draft that letter for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Do_I_need_an_IELTSTOEFL_score_for_Georgia\"><\/span><strong>Q3: Do I need an IELTS\/TOEFL score for Georgia?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>*No. Most Georgian universities (TSMU, CU, SEU) offer a preparatory &#8220;English Foundation&#8221; course. But if you have a score (IELTS 5.5+), it strengthens your visa profile. It\u2019s optional but recommended.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_How_old_can_my_documents_be\"><\/span><strong>Q4: How old can my documents be?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your passport and birth certificate are permanent. Your bank statement and HIV test must be less than 30 days old. Your NEET scorecard is valid for 3 years (from result date).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q5_What_is_the_%E2%80%9CEduwisor_Zero-Hidden-Fee%E2%80%9D_guarantee\"><\/span><strong>Q5: What is the &#8220;Eduwisor Zero-Hidden-Fee&#8221; guarantee?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>*It means the fee we quote for documentation (Apostille, translation, visa assistance) is the final fee. If the MEA changes a stamp duty by \u20b950, we pay it. We don&#8217;t come back to you with &#8220;unexpected charges.&#8221; This is why 1,200+ Indian students trust us.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q6_My_father_is_a_farmer_How_do_I_show_income_proof\"><\/span><strong>Q6: My father is a farmer. How do I show income proof?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need a &#8220;Sustenance Letter&#8221; plus the bank statement. If the money is in your father&#8217;s name, you need an Affidavit of Support (stamped) stating he will pay for you. We have a template for this specific for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q7_What_if_my_name_is_spelled_wrong_on_my_10th_vs_12th_certificate\"><\/span><strong>Q7: What if my name is spelled wrong on my 10th vs 12th certificate?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Huge problem. You need a &#8220;Same Name Affidavit&#8221; sworn in front of a First Class Magistrate. Example: &#8220;S. Kumar&#8221; vs &#8220;Santhosh Kumar.&#8221; Fix this before Apostille. We catch these errors in our free document audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_Do_I_need_COVID-19_vaccination_proof\"><\/span><strong>Q8: Do I need COVID-19 vaccination proof?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2026, Georgia has dropped the mandate for entry. However, Tbilisi State Medical University still requires proof of MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and Hepatitis B vaccination. Bring your childhood vaccination card (translated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9CInformation_Gain%E2%80%9D_Secret_What_other_blogs_wont_tell_you\"><\/span><strong>The &#8220;Information Gain&#8221; Secret (What other blogs won&#8217;t tell you)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most blogs tell you &#8220;bring your passport.&#8221; Let me give you the real insider info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The &#8220;Gap Year&#8221; Affidavit.<br><\/strong>If you took a drop year after 12th, you need an Affidavit explaining what you did. &#8220;Preparing for NEET&#8221; is accepted. But if you worked at a call center? You need an experience letter. Georgia is paranoid about &#8220;study intent.&#8221; If you worked full time, they think you won&#8217;t study. We structure your affidavit to highlight medical shadowing or coaching classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Color of the Photograph.<br><\/strong>The Georgian embassy wants a\u00a0<em>matte finish<\/em>\u00a0photo, not glossy. 70% of students get rejected at the counter because their glossy photo reflects the flash. Size: 35mm x 45mm. White background. No glasses. No smile showing teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The &#8220;Invitation Letter&#8221; Name Match.<br><\/strong>Your invitation letter will have your name written in Latin script (English). Your passport has your name. If there is a single typo (&#8220;Mohan&#8221; vs &#8220;Mohan S&#8221;), the airport immigration in Tbilisi will send you back on the next flight to Delhi. We triple-check the Ministry&#8217;s PDF before you book your flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Eduwisor_is_the_1_Choice_for_MBBS_in_Georgia\"><\/span><strong>Why Eduwisor is the #1 Choice for MBBS in Georgia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We aren&#8217;t just a consultancy.
