Georgia is a country situated where Eastern Europe meets Western Asia. It has become a popular choice for Indian students, tourists, and professionals. However, it is important to know that there is not a permanent Indian Embassy in Georgia. Instead the Indian Embassy in Armenia, located in Yerevan, sometimes offers consular services to Indians in Georgia through special consular camps and open houses.

How Consular Services Work
Since there is no Indian Embassy in Georgia, the Indian Embassy in Armenia organizes Consular Camps/Open Houses in Tbilisi, Georgia, a few times each year. These camps are temporary setups where Indian citizens in Georgia can get the services they need without travelling to Armenia. Services provided at these camps include:
- Passport Renewals: You can renew your passport at these camps.
- Visa Services: Help with visa-related issues and applications is available.
- Emergency Services: If you lose your passport or face other emergencies, you can get assistance.
- Other Consular Help: Services like document attestation and registration are also offered.
Where and When Are These Camps Held?
These consular camps are usually held in Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia. The exact location such as a community center or hotel, can vary, so it is important to check where the camp will be held.
The camps are not held regularly but are scheduled based on the needs of the Indian community in Georgia. Announcements about upcoming camps are made ahead of time on the Indian Embassy in Armenia’s website, social media, and through direct communication.
What to Bring to a Consular Camp
If you plan to visit a consular camp, make sure to bring all the necessary documents, like identification, passport copies, and any other paperwork you might need. The camps are generally well-organized, and embassy officials will help you with your requests.
