Who needs insurance for entry into Georgia?

Medical insurance is not only a recommendation, but often a requirement when visiting Georgia. Depending on the purpose of the visit, an insurance policy may be mandatory or desirable, but in any case it is extremely important for your safety.

Tourists

Medical insurance is not a mandatory condition for entering Georgia on a visa-free basis. However, it is recommended for all foreigners due to the high cost of medical services. For example, for a simple doctor's appointment, foreigners without a policy will have to pay $50-100, while hospitalization or emergency care can cost several thousand dollars.

Cases when the policy is mandatory

- Long-term visas (work, student, family reunification) - having medical insurance with coverage in Georgia is a standard condition for obtaining a visa or residence permit.

Ukrainians can stay in Georgia on a visa-free basis for up to 1 year, after which legalization is required. Explanation from a Visit Ukraine lawyer about the rules of stay in Georgia, the visa corridor and requirements for foreigners in the country at the link.

- Participation in international programs and projects - organizers often include a requirement for an insurance policy with minimum coverage.

- Registration of a residence permit - without a valid policy, documents may not be accepted.

Even if the policy is not mandatory, it is needed to avoid large expenses in case of unforeseen situations. Treatment in Georgia for foreigners can cost from 50-100 USD for a visit to a doctor and up to several thousand dollars in the case of hospitalization.

Georgia has simplified the procedure for obtaining a residence permit for foreign IT specialists, all details at the link.

Also in 2025, Georgia launched a program that offers foreigners the opportunity to obtain citizenship of the country for investments in the country's economy. Read here about the investment options available to expats, the requirements for applicants, and the benefits of a Georgian passport.

General requirements for insurance policies for short-term and long-term trips to Georgia

An insurance policy for entry into Georgia must meet certain standards, depending on the duration and purpose of the stay. There are two categories: short-term (up to 1 year) and long-term trips (more than 1 year, with a visa or residence permit).

1. Short-term trips (tourism, business, transit, visa-free)

If you are planning a stay of up to 1 year, you need a medical insurance policy that:

- Minimum medical coverage: $30,000–50,000.

- The policy must be valid for the entire period of stay.

- It is advisable to include COVID-19 coverage.

Such a policy may be required both when applying for a visa and at the request of a border guard during visa-free entry. Even if you are not asked to show the document at the border, it may become critically important in case of sudden illness or injury.

2. Long-term trips (study, work, residence permit)

When applying for a national visa type D or temporary/permanent residence in Georgia, the requirements for the insurance policy are more stringent:

- The policy must be valid for the entire period of stay in the country (from 1 to several years).

- It must cover all medical services, including outpatient and inpatient treatment.

What insurance can be purchased in Georgia?

When planning a trip to Georgia, it is important to choose a reliable insurance policy that will meet the goals of the trip and the requirements of the migration authorities. There are two main options: taking out local insurance in Georgia or purchasing a policy from a Ukrainian insurance company before the trip.

Local insurance in Georgia

You can purchase a policy directly from Georgian insurance companies. Main disadvantages:

- High price - for foreigners, rates are often higher than for local residents.

- Valid only within Georgia - if you go abroad (even for a day), the policy ceases to be valid.

- Difficulty in processing - local bank details or a residence permit are required.

That is, for tourists, students at the stage of submitting documents or for short trips, local insurance is not a convenient option. It is more suitable for those who already have resident status or work in the country.

Online insurance through Ukrainian insurers

The most convenient and fastest way to get a policy is to apply for insurance online before your trip through a proven platform. For example, on the Visit Ukraine portal, you can:

- Apply for insurance that meets the requirements of tourist travel and local residence permit.

- Receive an electronic policy by email in 5 minutes.

- Choose coverage: from 30,000 euros.

- Enable the COVID-19, injury, repatriation insurance option

- Pay with a card from any country

Such policies are accepted by the Migration Service of Georgia for visa-free entry and application for a national visa.
