Do you need travel insurance to enter Georgia and is it checked at the border?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 25 days ago

TL;DR

Travel insurance is technically required but rarely checked at the border. It's cheap and quick to buy online, so better to have it just in case.

What the community said

Standard travel insurance can be purchased quickly via banking apps. Look for an option that includes trip cancellation coverage — it adds a small amount to the price.

At some departure airports, insurance is checked at the check-in counter before passports are even opened. Buying online takes about 5 minutes and costs very little.

Insurance documents should be in English. In practice, Georgian border control — both at airports and land crossings — rarely asks for it, but having a policy is still recommended.
