TL;DR
Yes, travel medical insurance is required by law for visiting Georgia, and without it, medical treatment abroad can be very expensive if something happens.
Insurance isn't just about border checks — it's a legal requirement, similar to laws you'd follow at home. Local medical care isn't cheap, so without coverage, treatment can seriously hurt your budget.
Insurance is mandatory for entry. It's worth thinking ahead about how you'd actually get medical care abroad if something happens — without a policy, it can be complicated and costly.
Even if it sounds like an odd question, it's worth planning ahead where to seek medical help abroad — that's exactly why insurance is recommended before traveling to Tbilisi.
