Tbilisi eSIM

57 Georgia plans · from $3.65

Tbilisi has become one of the cheapest good bases in Europe for remote work — fast connections, generous visa terms and a sulphur-bath old town under a hilltop fortress. A travel eSIM covers the city and the mountain roads north, and Georgia is outside the EU, so home roaming here is expensive.

Landing at Tbilisi International (TBS)

The airport is 17km east. A handful of trains run to the central station daily, but most people take a Bolt or a taxi — about 30 minutes. Agree the fare or use the app rather than the kerbside rate.

Which networks you'll be on in Tbilisi

Siima eSIMs for Georgia ride Magticom and Silknet. Magticom has the widest coverage in the mountains and along the Georgian Military Highway; both are strong in Tbilisi.

Coverage around Tbilisi

Old Town and the funicular

Good coverage across Abanotubani, Rustaveli and Sololaki, and on the cable car up to Narikala and the funicular to Mtatsminda.

The Georgian Military Highway

The three-hour road north to Kazbegi holds signal for most of the route, including the Gudauri ski area and Stepantsminda. The Gergeti Trinity trail above the village drops out.

Kakheti wine country

Sighnaghi, Telavi and the winery routes east are well covered — useful, since the small family marani are hard to find without live directions.

Svaneti and the high Caucasus

Mestia and Ushguli have coverage in the villages; the trekking routes between them and the higher valleys have long gaps.

How much data you need

A week in Tbilisi is 3–4 GB, more if you are working remotely — the city is a nomad hub and you will lean on the connection. Mountain trips add navigation load.

Frequently asked questions

Does EU roaming cover Georgia?
No. Georgia is not in the EU or the EEA, so roam-like-at-home does not apply and standard international roaming rates do. That gap is the main reason travellers here use an eSIM.
Is the connection good enough for remote work in Tbilisi?
Yes — mobile data in the city is fast and cheap, and Georgia is a well-established base for remote workers. Size your plan accordingly: a working week uses far more than a sightseeing one, and unlimited plans are worth comparing.
How do I set up an eSIM before arriving in Tbilisi?
Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi: open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan the QR code from your Siima confirmation email. Leave the line switched off until you land — the plan starts counting from first use in Georgia, not from purchase.
How much data do I need for a trip to Tbilisi?
A week in Tbilisi is 3–4 GB, more if you are working remotely — the city is a nomad hub and you will lean on the connection. Mountain trips add navigation load.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Tbilisi?
Almost always. Daily roaming passes from most home carriers run $10–15 per day, while Siima plans covering Tbilisi start from $3.65 for the whole trip. You also avoid per-megabyte charges if you exceed a roaming pass allowance.
