The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic announces new conditions that will apply to foreign citizens wishing to visit Georgia.
Starting from January 1, 2026, all foreigners planning trips to Georgia are required to have a valid health insurance policy, as well as accident insurance, which must cover the entire duration of their stay in the country.
These requirements are established in accordance with Georgian legislation in the field of tourism and apply to trips made for tourism, business, or personal purposes.
The insurance policy can be obtained from both local and international insurance companies. It must be presented in Georgian or English, in either paper or electronic format.
The minimum amount of insurance coverage must be at least 30,000 Georgian Lari (GEL). The policy must contain the following key information:
- parties to the contract;
- territory of validity;
- object of insurance;
- dates of commencement and expiration of the policy;
- insurance risks;
- amount of insurance compensation;
- premium amount;
- terms and place of payment.
In light of the above, the Ministry strongly recommends that all citizens of Kyrgyzstan planning trips to Georgia familiarize themselves with the new rules in advance and take into account any additional requirements from carriers and border officials. Medical insurance should be arranged before the trip begins. It is advisable to have documents in paper form, as they may be requested at the border.
Furthermore, the Ministry emphasizes the importance of complying with migration legislation, including having a valid foreign passport, a return ticket, and proof of accommodation booking.
