Azerbaijan’s national air carrier, AZAL, once again reminds
passengers planning to travel to Georgia about the entry
requirements currently in force.
As of January 1, 2026, all foreign nationals entering Georgia
are required to hold valid medical insurance covering the entire
duration of their stay in the country. The requirement applies to
all foreign visitors entering Georgia for tourism, business, or
transit purposes.
Under the established regulations, foreign nationals must have
medical and accident insurance policy valid for the entire period
of stay in Georgia, from the date of entry until the date of
departure. The minimum insurance coverage must be GEL 30,000.
Insurance may be issued by Georgian or foreign insurance
companies. The policy may be presented in electronic or paper form
and must be issued in Georgian or English.
To avoid potential fines, delays, or additional procedures, AZAL
strongly recommends that passengers arrange the required medical
insurance prior to departure.
AZAL also notes that any verification of insurance policies
during check-in is conducted solely to inform passengers in advance
about the country’s entry requirements.
The new requirement is implemented based on Georgia’s Law on
Tourism and the decision of the Government of Georgia on the
approval of the rules and conditions for mandatory health and
accident insurance for tourists entering the country.
