Starting January 1, 2026, all foreign travelers entering Georgia for tourism, business, or transit must have valid medical and accident insurance covering their entire stay, with a minimum of 30,000 Georgian Lari. The policy must be valid from entry to departure and can be issued by Georgian or foreign insurers in electronic or paper form, in Georgian or English. The requirement, mandated under Georgia’s Law on Tourism and a government resolution, aims to improve visitor safety and reduce strain on the healthcare system. Travelers are advised to secure coverage in advance, and an online platform, eCover.ge, allows foreign tourists to purchase policies from local insurers in English. Enforcement details and specific claim procedures remain unspecified.
