TL;DR

For long-term residence in Georgia, use a policy issued by a Georgian insurer; travel insurance from your home country may not cover continuous residence abroad. A local policy generally applies only within Georgia.

What the community said

For continuous residence in Batumi, choose a policy from a Georgian insurer. Insurance bought in another country may not meet the terms if you do not regularly return to your original country of residence.

Do not confuse short-trip travel insurance with local cover for residents in Georgia. Long-term residents need a product designed for people who have moved to the country.

A local policy can provide valid medical cover for Georgia, but its geographical coverage is usually limited to the country. Check the policy wording for the coverage territory before purchasing.
