Georgia border crossing from Azerbaijan border with E-visa

[Afdhal]

Hi..
Currently I am in Baku, Azerbaijan and have a plan to visit Georgia by bus/train. I’m Indonesian and not a permanent residence of Azerbaijan, so I can’t apply visa at the Georgia Embassy in Baku, so I’ll apply e-visa.
But..
Last year my friends tried to cross the Georgia border from Azerbaijan by bus, but they were rejected because the hold e-visa not ordinary visa.
Does anyone have experience or new update for this issue?

Thanks..🙏🏾

Hi Afdhal,

I am Indonesian also. I cross the border Azerbaijan to Georgia (use Azerbaijan evisa and Georgia evisa) in Balakan/Lagodekhi (near Sheki, not the railway border) border and get pass easily, 2 of Indonesian who pass later at same border also pass through easily

But i know that several Indonesian that use Azerbaijan and Georgia evisa was prohibited to cross at railway border Azerbaijan-Georgia and forced to back to Baku to take flight to Tbilisi.

I am just wondering: were they sent back by the Georgian side or by the Azerbaijan side?

I was sent back by Azerbaijan on the train from Baku to Tbilisi in June 2017. Solution was to find a taxi and cross through the land border.
