Abstract
Being a relatively newly migrant sending country, Georgia does not have an elaborated migration
policy. Following its liberal politics, until recently, migration regulations were either extremely open,
or non-existent. The same is true for the return migration policy – there is no state operated program or
strategy aimed at reintegration of returnees. Only recently with the signature of readmission and visa
facilitation agreements with the EU, Georgia started working in this direction, but so far no visible
results are observed.
