Can Georgian citizens drive in India?

Driving in India can be a fantastic way to see the country, but it is important to be aware of the required documents and laws for foreigners.

Here's a guide to help Georgian citizens prepare:

It is possible to drive to India from a neighboring country and cross the land border by road.

However, it is crucial to know that the easy online e-Visa for India is not valid at land border checks. It is only applicable for arrivals at major airports and seaports in India.

To drive to India, you must apply for the appropriate type of visa in person.

This is why most travelers opt to fly to India: it is considerably faster and easier to apply for a visa online and then hire a car upon arrival.

Documents Required for Driving in India

If you plan on driving in India, you must have the following documents with you:

• International driving permit or Indian driving license
• Valid visa for India from Georgia (if applicable)
• Passport
• Birth certificate
• Proof of address

When driving in India, you should always have the following documents with you:

• Certificate of registration of the vehicle
• Certificate of Insurance
• Certificate of taxation
• Appropriate driving license

It is suggested that short-term tourists with Indian tourist or business visas get an international driving permit (IDP) from their home country.

The IDP is good for one year or until the home country license expires, whichever comes first. Don't forget to bring your home country's driver's license and IDP.

If you want to stay in India for more than a year, you must get an Indian driver's license. You may obtain it via an RTO or a driving school in India.
