Is travel medical insurance required to enter Georgia as a tourist?

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.

What the community said

At the Bavra–Ninotsminda border crossing, one traveler's family wasn't asked about insurance at all — requirements may depend on the specific checkpoint.

Someone asked whether insurance needs to cover a total of 30,000 GEL across all items — no confirmed answer to this specific requirement was found in the discussion.

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).
