Lost passports, accidents, consumer disputes, borders, customs, insurance and remote representation.
For a foreign client, residence, company, banking, tax and property are connected but legally distinct. Forming a company does not automatically grant residence; buying property does not automatically create a permit; and registration does not guarantee bank KYC. A safer plan starts with one map of objective, nationality, stay status, source of funds, activity, property type and deadlines.
When looking for a lawyer in Tbilisi, first identify whether the matter concerns criminal defence, civil litigation, business, immigration, real estate, family or administrative law. Then prepare a short chronology, core documents and every deadline. Counsel should explain scope, risks, communication and fee stages clearly.
If a passport is lost, secure safety, record the loss, contact the relevant consulate and separately check Georgian visa or stay status; an emergency travel document does not automatically resolve every immigration issue.
After a collision, safety and 112 come first, followed by police, insurer and rental-company notice requirements; returning the car without evidence or making an undocumented cash settlement can undermine later claims.
A tourist consumer or medical dispute requires proof of the promised service, price, payment, actual outcome, notices and loss; suspected crime and civil or consumer remedies require separate assessment.
Entry refusal, unlawful-stay issues and customs detention are different decisions; request written records, preserve passport and travel history and do not conceal goods or prior status.
A person outside Georgia can often appoint a representative, but the form, specific powers, notarisation, apostille or legalisation, translation and receiving authority's requirement should be agreed before signature.
