Travel Insurance for Visiting Georgia

Proof of travel insurance for a minimum of  €30,000 has recently become a mandatory requirement for all non-resident visitors to Georgia. You will need to provide proof of insurance either before you fly or on entry to the country so keep your insurance documentation with your other travel documents. The information should be in Georgian, Russian or English. Travel Eurasia can advise you of some local insurance options. If you are interested in this please contact us before your trip.

Driving and Car Rental in Georgia

If you plan to rent a car:

• Basic insurance is usually included, but excess fees can be high.
• Consider additional rental coverage or check if your travel policy includes this.

Travel to Breakaway Regions

Most travel insurance policies do not cover visits to:

• Abkhazia
• South Ossetia

Always check your policy’s terms if you plan to visit these areas, as they are not under Georgian government control and pose security risks.
