Travel Insurance When Traveling to Georgia: Why Is It Important?
Starting January 1, 2026, travel insurance will be mandatory for entry into Georgia. Entry will not be permitted without valid insurance coverage.
Under current regulations, the minimum required coverage is 30,000 GEL (approximately USD 12,000). The policy must include emergency outpatient services and inpatient treatment, as well as coverage for accidents, injuries, sudden illnesses, and medical evacuation.
The insurance contract must be concluded for all days of stay in Georgia. Border guards have the right to request a document confirming insurance at all border checkpoints when entering the country by air or land.
Foreign nationals found to have entered the country without valid insurance will be subject to a fine of 300 GEL (about AMD 43,000).
Having travel insurance is essential not only to avoid fines, but also to ensure a safe trip.
