Georgia Publishes Citizenship Test Fee for First and Second Attempts

• Georgia conducts the citizenship test free of charge for first-time applicants sitting the exam

• Applicants who need to retake the citizenship test are charged a fee of GEL 40 for each subsequent attempt

• The fee structure applies from the second sitting onward, with no exceptions noted for further retakes

Georgia charges no fee for a first attempt at the citizenship test, but applicants who do not pass on their initial sitting will need to pay GEL 40 for every subsequent attempt they make.

The first sitting of the exam is entirely free of charge.

From the second attempt onwards, a flat fee of GEL 40 applies each time an applicant sits the test again.

There is no reduction for further retakes; the GEL 40 charge remains the same for the second, third, and every additional attempt.

What applicants should know before registering

For those planning to apply for Georgian citizenship, the fee arrangement means that thorough preparation before the first sitting could save money.

Since the initial exam carries no cost, applicants who pass on their first try complete the process without paying anything for the test itself.

However, failing the first attempt means that every future sitting will attract the GEL 40 fee, with no cap on how many times a person may try.
