Visa Code contains the following regulations:
1/ The visa application shall be submitted to the Czech Consulate in Tbilisi only by the applicants legally residing in Georgia (Art. 6). Other applicants have to provide a sufficient justification for submitting their application in the Czech Consulate in Tbilisi; the decision about accepting such an application is made solely by the Consulate.
2/ The visa application could be submitted no more than three months before the start of the intended visit (Art. 9).
3/ In general, the personal presence of the applicant is necessary (Art. 10).

Example: Visa is applied for the period 1.7.2010 - 10.7.2010, i.e. for 10 days. The insurance should be arranged for 10 days within the period 1. 7. 2010 – 25. 7. 2010 (10 days intended + 15 days – „period of grace“).
