Insurance for foreigners in Georgia: travel policy or annual medical plan?

Which insurance a foreigner needs in Georgia depends on the length of stay. A travel policy is built for a trip and emergency care during set dates; an annual medical plan is for people who live in Georgia and expect regular visits to doctors and clinics. This guide explains how to tell which one fits.

Chapter 1

When a travel policy is enough for a foreigner

If you are coming as a tourist, for a short period of time, or you only need a policy to enter Georgia, travel insurance is usually sufficient. This policy covers emergency care, hospitalization, prescription medications and repatriation within the plan limits.

Chapter 2

When do you need a full-fledged medical plan?

If you live in Georgia longer, visit clinics frequently, want a family doctor, routine consultations, tests or advanced dentistry, your travel policy will quickly become too narrow. In this case, it is better to choose health insurance for foreigners with regular coverage and a network of clinics.
