Those deported include citizens of Turkey, India, Egypt, Russia, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, China, Azerbaijan, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Ghana, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Thailand, among others.

Under current legislation, those deported have also been banned from re-entering Georgia.
