Residents of Georgia will not need to be placed in mandatory quarantine upon arrival to Germany for business, education or health-related needs starting June 15.

Germany has not yet reopened its airspace for tourists from non-EU member states, including Georgia. 

However, Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani and Ambassador of Germany to Georgia Hubert Knirsch hoped that regular flights between their countries will be resumed as soon as possible.

FM Zaklaliani discussed the resumption of flights between Georgia and Germany with his counterpart Heiko Maas yesterday as well. 

Praising Georgia’s steps taken to combat the coronavirus Minister Maas said Germany is working on travel recommendations and after a unified agreement of the European Union, it will discuss the resumption of flights to Georgia.

As the domestic tourism has already resumed in Georgia, the country is now getting ready to reopen its airspace to international flights starting July 1.
