Practical Information for Exchange Students

Financial matters

Exchange students are not required to pay tuition fees. If you are an Erasmus+ or bilateral exchange student from a foreign higher education institution that has a student exchange agreement with GIPA, you will be exempt from paying tuition fees.

Erasmus+ exchange students may contact their home university for information regarding Erasmus+ scholarships and grants.

Accommodation and Living Expenses

Accommodation and living expenses vary depending on individual circumstances; however, the information below may help you estimate your monthly budget (prices are based on living in Tbilisi).

1 Euro = 3.1079 Georgian Lari (GEL) (as of June 2026).

To check the current exchange rate, please visit the website of the National Bank of Georgia:

https://nbg.gov.ge/monetary-policy/currency

Additional information on the cost of living in Tbilisi can be found at:

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Tbilisi

https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/tbilisi

Accommodation

At present, GIPA does not provide student dormitory accommodation. Therefore, international exchange students are responsible for finding and arranging their own accommodation in Tbilisi.

However, GIPA’s International Relations and Development Department will assist international students and academic staff in finding suitable accommodation.

Information about renting accommodation in Tbilisi can be found on the following websites:

Visa

Depending on your nationality, you may or may not require a visa to enter Georgia.

For additional information, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Georgian Embassy or Consulate in your country, or visit the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.

Citizens and permanent residents of countries included in the relevant visa-free list may enter and stay in Georgia without a visa.

Please note that citizens of European Union member states may enter Georgia with either a valid travel document (passport) or a national identity card issued by an EU member state. The identity card must contain the holder’s first name, surname, date of birth, and photograph.

The maximum period of visa-free stay in Georgia for citizens of European Union member states is one year.

Insurance

When preparing for your stay in Tbilisi, it is important to arrange appropriate health insurance coverage in advance.

GIPA recommends that you contact your insurance provider before traveling to Georgia to confirm whether your insurance policy covers medical treatment and related expenses in Georgia.

Alternatively, you may purchase student health insurance from a Georgian insurance provider after you arrive in Tbilisi. In this case, please ensure that your travel insurance remains valid until your Georgian insurance policy becomes effective.

Please note that, according to Georgian legislation, from January 1, 2026, all foreign citizens entering Georgia are required to have valid health and accident insurance coverage for the entire duration of their exchange period.

The insurance policy may be issued by either a Georgian or a foreign insurance company. Insurance documentation must be available in either Georgian or English and may be presented in electronic or printed form.
