Travel insurance for Georgia: what to check before entry and purchase
Foreign tourists entering Georgia from January 1, 2026 need health and accident insurance for the full stay. This guide focuses on what a traveller actually needs: the legal minimum, total price, policy proof, and what to do if medical help is required.
What are Georgia's entry requirements?
Government Resolution No. 602 applies to incoming foreign tourists and includes limited exemptions. The policy must cover health and accidents for the full stay, with at least 30,000 GEL of cover. It may be presented in Georgian or English, on paper or as an electronic document.
What does travel insurance cover?
Visitor plans are designed for unexpected medical events during a trip. Benefits, sub-limits, deductibles, and exclusions vary by plan, so open the details before payment and check the issued PDF afterwards. The policy wording controls the actual cover.
How to compare price correctly
Compare the total for your dates, not only the daily rate. The purchase page offers daily cover and fixed-term visitor plans. The current price and limit are shown on each plan card before payment and can vary by age, trip duration, and selected cover.
How to buy and verify the policy online
Choose the period and visitor plan, enter each traveller's passport details, review the final total, and pay online. After successful payment and issue, the PDF is emailed. Before travel, check the insurer, names, document numbers, dates, territory, risks, limits, and assistance number.
What to do when you need medical help
When your condition allows, call the assistance number on the policy first and follow the insurer's instructions. Keep medical reports, prescriptions, invoices, and receipts. Depending on the terms, the insurer may arrange help directly or request documents for reimbursement.
