Georgia Visa For Uae Residents - Lomelono Travel Solutions

With the introduction of the Georgian law on visa, UAE residents can travel to Georgia at their own expense to visit close relatives and friends, who are issued a visa on arrival. From now on, citizens of the United Arab Emirates will be granted a visa on arrival for up to 30 days without an invitation letter as long as they have passports valid for at least 6 months and enough funds to support their stay.The Georgia Visa program was the first of its kind in addressing the visa management challenges faced by organizations operating on a global scale.

Visas are a sensitive subject when you come to the UAE and the possibilities of a Russian Visa can be a little overwhelming. It’s no wonder why some people try to cross illegally. After all who would want to spend days on end stuck at an airport in between flights. However, after talking to others who have done this I was getting cold feet but then again it wasn’t like I was doing something wrong. The idea of wasting so much time and money took over and against my better judgement I boarded my flight to Moscow hoping things would work out once I arrived.
