Where to get travel/health insurance in Batumi and how do Georgia's new mandatory tourist insurance rules work?

Travelers often ask which insurance company is best for a Georgia trip — there's no single consensus, people compare providers before buying.

Those planning to live in Batumi long-term find the standard tourist rate of about 2 GEL/day too expensive — they look for a monthly-payment plan that still complies with the new tourist insurance rules.

If an existing tourist policy for yourself and a child is about to expire, the choice is whether to extend it online with the same insurer or buy a new local policy in Batumi — the difference in terms and price isn't always obvious.
