Travelling to Georgia is turning out to be a nightmare for many Indians. Nine people from Kerala were sent back from Tbilisi airport recently.

According to postgraduate medical student Hari Govind, he learnt from his brother-in-law based in the UAE of the ease with which a Georgian e-visa could be obtained and so the family made a sudden plan to head to the East European destination for four days.

Govind, who was traveling with his wife and six relatives, including an eight-year-old nephew, was cautioned at Kochi airport while boarding the flight on October 19.

Officials said that despite e-visas and valid tickets, they might be denied entry to Georgia. Govind decided to continue with the plan as he had spent Rs 2.5 lakh on bookings. At Sharjah airport they were cautioned again.
