What you need to prepare before purchasing
Usually all you need is a passport and an understanding of the duration of your trip. If you need a policy for entry, check the dates of your stay in advance and make sure that the coverage is valid for the entire period of your stay in Georgia.
How does online purchase work?
Choose the appropriate plan, enter the traveler’s details and pay online. The completed PDF policy is sent by email immediately after successful payment.
What to look for when choosing a plan
Compare not only price, but also coverage limits, hospitalization, medications, dentistry and duration. For a short trip, a travel policy is most often suitable, but for living in Georgia and frequent visits to the doctor, it is better to look at medical plans.
Buy insurance online
For entry-related questions, the issued insurance policy is the controlling document for exact coverage, limits, dates, exclusions, and insurer terms.
