PM-led Interagency Coordination Council decided to allow ten more countries to enter Georgia with a negative PCR test result provided upon arrival only. Moreover, children under 10 need no PCR test result at land and air borders.

Deputy Head of the National Tourism Administration Tamar Koriauli believes this decision would boost tourist inflow.

According to the Georgian Foreign Ministry, all foreign nationals traveling from any country can enter Georgia if they:

• present the document confirming the full course (two doses, one dose in case of Johnson and Johnson) of any COVID-19 vaccination at the border checkpoints of Georgia when traveling by air;
• when crossing the land and sea border of Georgia present the document confirming the full course (two doses, one dose in case of Johnson and Johnson) of any COVID-19 vaccination at the border checkpoints of Georgia, as well as the negative PCR test taken in the last 72 hours;
• Any person traveling from the Republic of India (regardless of citizenship and full course of vaccination), as well as individuals having India travel history for the past 14 days, are subject to a negative PCR test conducted in the last 72 hours before the visit to Georgia at the border and then a mandatory 14-day quarantine (in the case of foreigners, at their own expense). In case of a mandatory quarantine, PCR-examination on the 3rd day of their stay is waived.
