The basics
Georgia has opened back up for tourism to citizens of any country, as long as they’ve been fully vaccinated, or are partially vaccinated after a Covid-19 infection. Unvaccinated arrivals from a limited number of countries are also allowed.
What’s on offer in Georgia
Straddling the border between Europe and Asia, Georgia is one of the area’s most exciting countries. Tbilisi is one of the world’s great capital cities, with a strong cultural scene; Kutaisi, where many flights land, has a storied history; and in between there are jaw-dropping landscapes and remote mountain areas where it looks like time has stood still.

Fully vaccinated citizens of any country, or those who have recently recovered from Covid-19 and have been partially vaccinated, are allowed unrestricted entry.
Entry, with restrictions, is also permitted for unvaccinated arrivals from the following countries: All EU member states, Israel, Turkey, Switzerland, Norway, USA, Canada, UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Armenia, Azebaijan, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, China, Japan, Korea, Oman, Monaco, Iceland, Serbia, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Andorra, Albania, Northern Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzigovina, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon.
