What travel/health insurance do expats living in Georgia need (not tourist insurance)?

For trips: in August 2026 a participant pointed out that if you already have a policy for Cyprus covering your dates, Georgia is probably included too, and a policy can be issued quickly in a banking app. Check the specific policy's terms for coverage.

In July 2026 a participant explained the difference: these are two different kinds of insurance. If you live in Georgia and plan to leave the country and come back, a tourist policy from your original home country will not do; in that case you need insurance for foreigners from a Georgian company.

An example of local insurance for foreigners is Prime Insurance. According to the same participant in July 2026, it costs 100 GEL for six months or 200 GEL for a year; the coverage details are on the company's website.

If you are going to Georgia on holiday, you need regular tourist travel insurance. According to the participant in July 2026, it is cheapest to buy in your home country; it is a different product from insurance for foreigners living in Georgia.
