How to organize routine care, emergencies, insurance, prescriptions and medical records as an international resident in Tbilisi.
THE QUICK ANSWERFor an immediate emergency in Georgia, call 112.Reviewed 17 July 2026
Routine care
Choose a clinic and primary doctor before illness. Confirm language, appointment process, payment and whether it bills your insurer directly.
Insurance
Read territory, outpatient/inpatient limits, exclusions, waiting periods, pre-authorization and reimbursement rules—not only the premium.
Medicines
Bring generic drug names and a clinician’s letter for ongoing treatment. Brand names and prescription requirements can differ.
Entry requirement · since 1 January 2026
Tourists need health and accident insurance.
A tourist entering Georgia must carry a valid policy for the full stay. It may be issued by an authorized Georgian or foreign insurer and shown electronically or on paper, in Georgian or English.
This entry policy is not automatically a complete long-term health plan. Check deductibles, exclusions, pre-existing conditions, evacuation, outpatient care and claim procedure separately. Official exemptions include specified diplomatic/special categories, treaty cases and international transport drivers; verify your own status.

A practical sequence
Make the next decision
with better questions.
Create a medical note
Record conditions, allergies, medications, blood group, insurer and emergency contacts.
Choose nearby care
Save one suitable clinic, a 24-hour option and the nearest capable hospital.
Check payment
Ask whether the provider is in-network, whether pre-approval is needed and which documents support reimbursement.
Keep records
Request reports, images, prescriptions and itemized receipts; arrange translation if another doctor must rely on them.
Details worth saving
Small facts.
Large consequences.
Use for unexpected serious health difficulty or danger; give a precise location and callback number.
Georgia’s Health Ministry hotline is listed as an information contact; it is not a substitute for emergency 112.
Many expats use private providers and pay directly or claim from insurance. Confirm prices before non-emergency care.
This guide is logistical information. Symptoms, medicines and treatment decisions belong to a licensed clinician.
Practical local support
