:2. For Georgia I am not sure if even changing the passport will help... they have pretty well-organised computer system. Upon going to Georgia again I guess I will contact both my embassy in Tbilisi and Georgian in Warsaw to ask about possible consequences. Have you heard any reports about people ACTUALLY travelling again to Georgia after leaving Abkazia for Russia as I did? Maybe I broke the law but in fact no one will care about it, who knows?:) --[[User:Rozwal|rozwal]] 16:22 2012-04-21
:: About a year ago, I found a news article about a Russian traveller who got sentenced to 4 years in prison, for that. I can't find it again now. But that still might be a difference:
:: First, I can imagine, that they are much more serious about Russian travellers, as Russia is like "the evil enemy" for the Georgian government.
:: Second, maybe he has entered Georgia from Abkhazia in the first place, which means he has no entry stamp. I guess entering a country illegally is much worse than leaving it illegally. Then again, as there is a Georgian checkpoint at the border in Gal, I don't see why they would even have let him enter the "real" Georgia.
:: And in general, I can't imagine they are so strict with some backpackers nowadays. But yeah, definitely ask their embassy. If you have a new passport, you shouldn't have a problem. They will have no proof of what you did and it could just have been a computer mistake.
