Georgia expels 26 foreign nationals after migration checks

Georgia has expelled 26 foreign nationals following coordinated operations carried out by the Interior Ministry’s Migration Department and other units, officials said on Tuesday.

The ministry said the individuals - citizens of India, Iran, Turkey, Turkmenistan, China, Cuba, Nigeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Cameroon and Pakistan - were removed from the country after recent large-scale inspections identified them as lacking a legal basis to remain in Georgia.

Under existing legislation, all 26 expelled individuals have been issued entry bans.
