In parallel with the increasing number of tourists in Georgia and other visitors, there are natural cases when foreign citizens are refused to enter country in accordance with procedures and international standards provided by law.
Procedures for crossing the Georgian border by foreign citizens are especially controlled after the enactment of visa liberalization.
It is worth mentioning that in June 2017 6517 citizens of India have crossed Georgian state border.
Herewith we would like to clarify that during the crossing the state border of Georgia, the border guards have the right granted by the existing legislation to refuse a foreign citizen to enter the country when a citizen does not provide convincing answers during interviews or gives false information about the purpose of the visit.
Citizens are checked in border crossing points using the world-wide, universally recognized methods. The same procedures are carried out in relation to the Georgian citizens while crossing state borders of other countries.
It should also be noted that in June of the current year, the unprecedented increase in the number of tourists (43% ) in Georgia has been witnessed, compared to the same period of the last year.
