Is travel medical insurance required to enter Georgia as a tourist?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago
TL;DR
Officially tourists can enter Georgia for up to a month without insurance or residency permit, but at some border crossings (especially land borders) they may ask for a policy — there's no single confirmed coverage requirement (like 30,000 GEL), and practice varies by checkpoint.

The term 'visa run' came up — leaving and re-entering the country to reset the legal stay period as a tourist (relevant if you don't have a residence permit, only annual medical insurance).
