Georgia travel insurance when entering with a Turkish ID card

Check mandatory cover, policy language and passport exemptions for travel with a Turkish ordinary passport or ID card against the official announcement.

Editorial review:

Who needs the insurance?

The embassy’s 8 May 2026 notice states that health and accident cover is required for ordinary-passport or ID-card travel from 1 January 2026. Diplomatic, service and special passports are exempt from this requirement.

An insurance exemption is separate from entry eligibility. Check the requirements for the document you will actually carry.

What to check on the policy

The notice requires at least GEL 30,000 cover for the full stay, including entry and exit dates, presented in English or Georgian. Paper or electronic documents are accepted.

Check the traveller’s name, dates and coverage before purchasing, and keep an offline copy.

Add it to a Tbilisi trip

Budget insurance separately from flights and accommodation. Ensure early arrivals or departures after midnight are included in the coverage dates.

This page does not sell insurance. Verify the policy with its provider and entry rules with official authorities before continuing your Tbilisi plan.

Entry rules may change before departure. Check your passport type, travel purpose and current official guidance before booking.
