When is Medical Insurance Required for Armenian Citizens Entering Georgia?

Georgia has postponed the implementation date for mandatory health and accident insurance for all visitors entering the country. This was reported to Sputnik Armenia by the information-analytical department of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In December 2023, the Georgian Parliament adopted amendments to the law on tourism, stipulating that starting June 1, 2024, foreign citizens would be required to have medical insurance to enter the country. It was stated that from that date onward, tourists entering Georgia must have insurance for medical emergencies and accidents.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced that, according to the decision of the National Tourism Administration of Georgia, the enforcement date for mandatory medical insurance has been postponed until 2026. It is important to note that this decision applies to all citizens, including those from Armenia.
