Defence for airport, border, migration and travel-document investigations involving illegal entry, alleged facilitation, forged documents, customs conduct and foreign nationals in Georgia.

A traveller, driver, employer, host or company is stopped at a border or questioned about a person's entry, stay, documents, goods or travel arrangements. The correct legal route depends on the documents, the participant's procedural status, the investigating authority and the current stage—not simply the label attached to the accusation.
