Do I need insurance to travel to Abkhazia?

Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Until July 2011, on the border of Abkhazia and Russia, the insurance fee was collected from travelers. After July 2011, the insurance is suggested in the recommended order when booking accommodation in Abkhazia (it is not necessary, and the language on the difficulties of leaving without it or the impossibility of taking a doctor, if medical assistance is required, are not justified).

If you still decide to arrange an accident insurance (this is not a medical insurance!), The tourist voucher (confirmation of booking) indicates the amount of a one-time fee for the entire period of stay, you will also be sent a contract and a payment order. The fee is calculated in accordance with the time of stay in Abkhazia and the number of arrivals: up to 3 days - 30 rubles., From 3 to 30 days the amount of payment is 250 rubles. from 30 to 183 days inclusive - 750 rubles. from the person (children under 6 years are entered in the insurance policy of parents).

After payment of the reservation and payment, a copy of the insurance policy is sent to you, the original of which is kept in the central office of the state insurance company "Abkhazazgosstrakh" at the address: Sukhum, ul. Chochua, 2.
