Japan’s Embassy in Georgia brings together services for Japanese nationals living in the country and visa applications from people within its jurisdiction. Logistics matter: the Consular Section requires appointments, and general office hours differ from visa counter hours. State the exact procedure when booking so the office can provide the right requirements.
The office is on the ninth floor at 64b Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue, Tbilisi 0162. Telephone: +995 32 275 2111; consular email: consular@tb.mofa.go.jp. The consular page, updated in April 2026, asks visitors to book by email before 3:00 p.m. on the preceding working day. The 2023 relocation notice retains this address and lists general hours of 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and 2:00–5:45 p.m. Visa submissions are taken 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.; collection is 3:00–5:00 p.m.
For Japanese nationals, the index covers passports, emergency travel documents, certificates, overseas residence registration, birth and marriage filings, nationality, My Number, overseas voting and safety information. Japanese nationals planning to stay at least three months must submit an overseas residence report, preferably through ORRnet. A new passport can take about four weeks. Some filings accept an electronic family-record certificate; electronic delivery of a residence certificate has separate conditions, and the recipient must accept that format.
A Japanese visa requires an appointment, which the Embassy recommends requesting at least four weeks before travel. It accepts applications from Georgian citizens and residents; other nationalities must show lawful residence in Georgia. For a complete file, the published benchmark is five working days from the day after acceptance, but screening can take longer and cannot be expedited because departure is near. Incomplete forms or missing documents are not accepted. The Embassy says applicants do not need to buy flights or accommodation before applying.
A practical order is to check the visa category, assemble originals and copies as instructed, then email within the appointment window. For certificates, ask the receiving authority first about required wording and format. If a consular emergency arises after hours, use the Embassy’s official emergency channel; the regular email is not an emergency line. Recheck notices, holidays and safety information before travelling to the office.
