A user with 'Ukraine' listed as their place of birth on their Russian foreign passport (born in Crimea, but not explicitly stated) is concerned about potential issues at the border. They cite a past experience entering Russia where their phone was checked due to their place of birth (UkSSR), and they were informed of future intensified checks.
When considering medical insurance for Georgia, distinguish between local resident insurance and travel insurance for entry/exit. If a traveler does not have a residence permit (VNZh), a local insurance plan might not satisfy the requirements for border control upon entry or exit. These local plans often have lower coverage limits for travel purposes. It's crucial to ensure travel insurance explicitly covers the duration and requirements for entry and exit if a VNZh is absent. Some Russian annual policies might cover up to 3 months of stay per year.
