ge.usembassy.gov Embassy Tbilisi American Citizen Services Visas and Programs

ge.usembassy.gov serves as the digital front door of the United States Embassy in Tbilisi. The homepage rotates high-resolution banners that spotlight the latest bilateral initiatives—recent examples include USAID-funded highway upgrades linking east and west Georgia and joint U.S.–Georgian military exercises at the Krtsanisi Training Center.
A prominent “American Citizen Services” (ACS) block gives instant access to passport renewal forms, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) appointments and emergency contact numbers that connect to a duty officer 24/7.
Georgian citizens looking for U.S. visas find a step-by-step visual guide: create a profile, pay the $160 MRV fee via TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia, schedule fingerprints at the new TLScontact center on David Aghmashenebeli Avenue, and book the interview at the embassy’s glass-and-steel chancery on 11 Balanchine Street. The site publishes current wait times—typically two days for B1/B2 tourist visas and same-week slots for F-1 students during peak admission season. A “News & Events” section releases English and Georgian-language press kits on U.S.–Georgia strategic partnership, EXIM financing for Black Sea submarine cable projects, and English-teaching programs like Access and FLEX.
Visitors can sign up for email alerts on security messages, demonstration notices and weather-related closures. The “Education Advising” portal lists EducationUSA advising centers at Ilia State University and Tbilisi State University, with webinar links on common-app tips and STEM scholarship databases. Cultural content includes links to American Corners in Batumi and Akhaltsikhe, virtual jazz concerts streamed on YouTube, and instructions for requesting speaker grants through the Public Diplomacy Section.
Finally, the footer hosts a Google Map pin, local holidays that affect consular hours, and social-media icons for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds updated in both languages.
