I arrived in advance (4 hours in advance), I was not allowed in, I was asked to arrive 30 minutes before the appointed time.
The staff at the entrance speaks at least 3 languages, Georgian, Russian and English.
At the consulate, too, you can get to the Russian-speaking consul, or you can ask for an interview in your native language, and the English-speaking consul will call a colleague who speaks Russian / Georgian.
That's what the grandmothers in my line did.
The queue was long, everyone was standing, not to sit down.
Consuls are objective and ask a lot of specific questions.
We were asked for additional documents that needed to be sent by the transport company.
Do not take things with you, it is forbidden to take large bags. A phone, headphones and other small appliances are rented at the entrance under a number. It is picked up at the exit.
The entrance to the consulate is through a pedestrian crosswalk from the McDuck, for a taxi, put a dot on the McDuck, it's more convenient, otherwise they take you to the far parking lot.
