Frequently asked questions

Do I need travel insurance for Georgia?

Yes. As of January 1st, 2026, Georgia's Decree No. 602 mandates that all visitors must have health and accident insurance covering at least 30,000 GEL (or equivalent) for the entire duration of their stay.

How much does travel insurance for Georgia cost?

3.50 USD or 3.00 EUR per traveler per day, with no minimum policy or fees - a 10-day trip is 10 times the daily rate. You can insure any period from 1 to 365 days, and the exact total is shown before you pay.

Can I buy the policy on the same day, on arrival or at the border?

Yes. Choose today as the start date and the policy is valid from 00:00 of that day, with the PDF in your inbox within 2 minutes. The one limitation: under the policy terms, events in the first 6 hours after purchase are not covered, so buy at least a few hours before you travel.

Will this be accepted at all Georgian borders?

Yes. The policy is issued under Decree 602 and meets every Ministry of Internal Affairs requirement at the border: 30,000 GEL minimum of medical and accident cover, valid dates spanning your stay, and an English + Georgian bilingual PDF. Border officers verify these directly on the PDF or the digital border card you receive at checkout.

Is there a fine for not having insurance in Georgia, and can I enter without it?

There is no monetary fine. The policy is checked at passport control before entry, and without a valid one you will not be let into the country. Buy it in advance - the PDF arrives within 2 minutes of payment.

What does the policy actually cover?

Up to 30,000 GEL per traveler in total - emergency hospitalization (up to 20,000 GEL), emergency outpatient care (up to 10,000 GEL, with a 100 GEL deductible per case), emergency dentistry (up to 500 GEL), medical evacuation for sport injury (up to 2,000 GEL), repatriation (up to 5,000 GEL), and a 24/7 assistance hotline. Coverage applies inside Georgia only, for the dates on your policy.
