Georgia Travel Insurance 2026: Avoid the 300 GEL Border Fine

Travel to Georgia in 2026? Don't forget insurance to avoid a 1.3 million UZS fine

Starting January 1, 2026, Georgia is introducing new rules for tourists. Now, medical insurance is mandatory for everyone entering the country. Without it, you may be denied entry at the border or be issued a fine of 300 GEL, which is almost 1.3 million UZS. [1]

The good news is that it is easy to avoid these problems. A travel insurance policy from Euroasia Insurance costs from 76,000 UZS and can be issued online in 5 minutes. This is almost 17 times cheaper than the fine and guarantees you a peaceful trip.

What has changed: a brief overview of the new rules

Let's look at the main points that every tourist from Uzbekistan needs to know.

1. Insurance is now a mandatory document

Previously, medical insurance was a recommendation, but starting in 2026, it becomes a mandatory document, just like a passport. Whether you are flying on vacation with your family, on a business trip, or for a weekend—everyone must have a policy. [2]

2. Where and how will they check?

Insurance can be checked in two places:

• At the border: A border guard officer may ask to see the policy. If you don't have it, you may be denied entry. Imagine how frustrating it would be if your long-awaited vacation or important business meeting was ruined.

• Inside the country: The police also have the right to check your insurance at any time during your stay in Georgia. [2]

The policy can be shown electronically on your phone or printed out. EAI's digital policy, which comes to your email and is available in the app, is perfectly suited for this.

3. What are the insurance requirements?

For your policy to be accepted, it must meet the minimum requirements of Georgian law:

• Total coverage amount: at least $30,000.

• Coverage for emergency aid (without hospitalization): at least $5,000.

• Coverage for inpatient treatment (with hospitalization): at least $30,000. [1]

Important: If your policy has a total limit of $30,000 but does not cover these two points, it may be considered invalid. Euroasia Insurance's "Classic" (€60,000) and "Exclusive" (€90,000) tariffs significantly exceed these requirements, guaranteeing you 100% compliance with the law. [4]

A fine of 1.3 million UZS or a policy for 76,000 UZS: what will you choose?

Let's calculate. A fine for not having insurance is a meaningless waste of money. But that is only a small part of the possible expenses.

The real price of risk is medical bills

The biggest financial risk is not the fine, but the cost of medical treatment in Georgia. Medical services are paid for tourists and are very expensive. A simple doctor's visit can cost several hundred dollars, and a serious situation requiring hospitalization can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

With an EAI policy, you won't have to worry about money or organizing assistance. All of this will be handled by our international assistance company. You will only need to call the number listed on your policy.
