Hello!
I'm interested in travelling to Georgia and read that they require that tourists have travel/health insurance and provide proof of it. I have health insurance for travelling through Cigna, but I do not have insurance for if my plane is delayed and that kind of thing.
Has anyone had the experience of going into the country and what you showed them and can share what the experience is like?
Thank you,
Collette
I visited Georgia last year and had travel insurance which covers both health and flight etc issues. I was not asked to provide proof of it when I passed through immigration, all they were interested in was stamping my passport.
There is a new law that went into effect 1 January 2026. But I dont know the details and a quick look didnt get me an answer I trusted. You need to find an official Georgia website for visitors.
We are on a Gate 1 tour of Armenia and Georgia for August/September and they advised us to print out our insurance coverage. We purchased coverage when we booked the tour.
I should be able to provide an update in about a weeks time. I’m about to land in Baku, Azerbaijan and plan to cross the border into Georgia after about a week. I’ll only be spending about 3 days in Georgia before heading to London.
I recently purchased basic Georgia insurance to cover travelers. It was extremely cheap. For 2 people for 4 days coverage of 30,000 GEL as required came out to around $6 in total.
It seems like folks are likely asked for this when they fly in to Tbilisi. I’ll post how it goes crossing the land border.
Thanks everybody for your help!
Arnold, I look forward to hearing about your experience.
I did find some information on visitgeorgia.ge, but I would like to hear how the process has worked for tourists.
Thanks! Collette
