In November 2015, Beglarishvili was called up by Kakhaber Tskhadadze for the Georgia national football team against Estonia and Albania. On 11 November 2015, he made his debut in the match against Estonia, coming on from the bench in the 79th minute.

He expressed his desire to play for the national team of Estonia, country where he has played since 2009.[2] In December 2018, after 8 years of living in Estonia, he passed the Estonian language exam and applied for the citizenship.[3] He received an Estonian passport in September 2019.[4] Eventually FIFA did not allow him to represent Estonia, due to not meeting the requirements.[5]
