Do you need printed travel insurance, return ticket, and hotel booking to enter Georgia via Batumi, or are PDF copies on your phone enough?

The newest practical takeaway for visa runs is that travelers are most concerned about insurance, and it may be checked on re-entry. Even if a phone copy is often enough, it is safer to carry both the PDF and a printed policy for a visa run.

For passport control, the usual document set is the same: return ticket, accommodation confirmation, and insurance. The main practical issue is whether paper copies are required; in Batumi, many travelers rely on PDFs on a smartphone, while printed copies remain a backup.

Travelers also specifically ask whether the insurance policy can be shown from a phone screen at the border. The practical takeaway is to keep the electronic version ready first, and bring a printed copy in case the officer wants to review it offline or more carefully.
