Georgian Authorities Tighten Rules on Foreigners Stay in Country

The Georgian authorities are tightening the rules on the stay of foreign citizens in the country. A new type of punishment will be added to the Criminal Code - expulsion of a foreigner from Georgia and a ban on entry for a certain period of time.

Fines for those who violate the rules of stay on the territory of the country will also increase significantly, and the procedure of expulsion of illegal aliens will be considerably simplified.

Changes in the current legislation, as the authorities noted earlier, are aimed at combating illegal migration and clarifying the asylum process.
