Embassy Operations: The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi continues to provide passport, citizenship and emergency services for U.S. citizens, and emergency visa appointments on a very limited basis. Please contact us if you have any questions or to make an appointment.
(UPDATE) Coming to Georgia in July:
On June 9, the Prime Minister announced that the resumption of foreign tourism will likely be postponed. The Government of Georgia continues to negotiate with other countries to establish “safe travel corridors” to allow foreign travelers from select countries to enter Georgia, but as of today, they have not yet announced which international flights/destinations will be approved to resume service in July, nor what mechanisms will be used to receive or monitor foreign visitors (in terms of screening, quarantine, health certificate, etc.). The Government has also not specified what, if any, conditions will be placed on entry of foreign citizens based on travel origin, nationality, status in Georgia, or other factors.
(UPDATE) Flights: Georgian Airways cancelled the two Tel Aviv flights scheduled for June, but announced additional Amsterdam flights in July. Please consult a travel agent or airline representative to book these flights or find out what connections are available from these cities:
- 15 June /27 June & 04/06/11/13/18/20/25/27 July: Tbilisi to Amsterdam* (direct connections to USA available; see notes below)
- 18 June / 28 June: Tbilisi to Vienna (U.S. citizens may transit Austria, but no direct connections to USA are available)
Other than Georgian Airways, NO other airline has confirmed when they will resume regular commercial flights to/from Tbilisi. Several airlines have canceled previously advertised flights in July and indicated they do not expect to resume any July service.
