Do you need travel insurance to enter Georgia, and how long should the policy be if your stay is open-ended?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 9 days ago
TL;DR
For most tourists entering Georgia, travel insurance is usually not checked and is generally not a standard requirement for visa-free entry, but it is still strongly recommended. If your stay is open-ended, travelers usually buy a 30–90 day policy or cover their expected stay and extend it later if needed.
What the community said
If you are doing a visa run and do not know your exact departure date, a practical option is to buy insurance for at least the first 30 days in Georgia. That is a common starter period, and many travelers extend the policy later if needed.

Based on traveler experience, insurance is usually not requested at the Georgian border for a standard entry through Tbilisi, but traveling without it is still risky. At a minimum, it makes sense to cover the part of the trip you have already planned, such as 30 or 90 days.

If you genuinely do not know how long you will stay, travelers usually choose a fixed policy period with some buffer rather than an open-ended plan—for example 90 days or even 1 year for a long flexible stay. For a short trip, though, an annual policy is often unnecessary.
