Do you need travel insurance for a visa run to Georgia, and where to buy it cheapest?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
TL;DR
Insurance isn't always checked at the border, but it's safer to have it — around 2 GEL/day bought directly from an insurer's website. Note: if you're doing a visa run, insurers may deny claims.
What the community said
Border agents don't always check insurance when entering Georgia — some travelers pass through without it. Still, getting covered for about a week is recommended for peace of mind in case it is checked.

Skip insurance resellers — buy directly from the insurer's website for around 2 GEL per day. Middlemen charge a markup for the exact same policy.

Key caveat for visa runners: if your entry purpose isn't classified as tourism, the insurer may deny your claim if something goes wrong. Factor this in when choosing a policy.
