Embassy of Vietnam in Georgia
Currently, there is no Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate located in Georgia.
For standard tourism or short-term business visits, the eVisa can be obtained entirely online. However, for specialized visas that cannot be processed electronically (such as long-term work or diplomatic visas), Georgian citizens must contact a Vietnamese diplomatic mission in a neighboring country, such as the Embassy of Vietnam in Turkey or the Russian Federation.
Flight Routes: Traveling from Tbilisi to Vietnam
There are no direct flights between Georgia and Vietnam. Georgian travelers must book flights with one or more layovers. Most flights depart from Shota Rustaveli Tbilisi International Airport (TBS).
Standard Transit Routes:
- Via Istanbul (IST): Turkish Airlines operates flights from Tbilisi to Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) via Istanbul.
- Via Doha (DOH): Qatar Airways offers routes from Tbilisi to major Vietnamese cities with a connection in Doha.
- Via Dubai (DXB): Flights are also available through Dubai via airlines such as flydubai and Emirates.
Total travel time typically ranges from 18 to 22 hours, depending on layover duration.
