Is it safe for Indian students in Georgia?

There is no country that is 100% safe or completely without prejudice. There is no guarantee that individuals will not experience occasional moments of discomfort prompted by intolerant people. However, intolerance and prejudice are far from the most common trait to be found in Georgia. Georgian people are by and large friendly and welcoming to foreigners. With so many Indian students, tourists, and workers in Georgia, most Georgian people are used to seeing Indians, however, this does not mean that students won’t at times receive more attention than a local person would. While serious safety concerns are not common, foreigners should still exercise caution especially when it comes to more common things like pick pocketing.

MBBS Education will help train students on how to keep themselves safe in Georgia and provide tips/advice for their safety. We will also support students whenever they need help.
