Insurance

You are advised to obtain comprehensive medical as well as travel insurance to cover illness, injury and loss of money, baggage and tickets before travelling.  You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake.  For more general information see Travel insurance.

If things do go wrong when you are oversees then this is How we can help.

Registering with the British Embassy

Register with our LOCATE service to tell us when and where you are travelling abroad or where you live abroad so our consular and crisis staff can provide better assistance to you in an emergency. 

We strongly recommend that British nationals resident in or visiting Georgia  register their  presence with the Embassy. This allows us to keep in touch with you when you are in Georgia and to provide consular assistance in the event of an emergency.

Money

 
Although prices are often quoted in US dollars and Euros, according to Georgian law, all goods and services should be paid for in local currency (Georgian Lari).  You are advised not to carry large amounts of cash.
 
Credit cards are increasingly being used and ATMs can be found in major cities.  Travellers’ Cheques are not widely accepted.
