TL;DR
At border control it's safer to say 'tourism' rather than 'relocating' to avoid extra questions from the officer. Also make sure the passport you use to cross the border matches the one you later use for any paperwork.
Some travelers note that any paperwork after entry should be tied to the same passport used to cross the border — typically the international passport, not a domestic ID.
Border officers pay attention to entry/exit dates in your passport stamp and may start a conversation asking your purpose of visit, so it helps to have a simple, consistent answer ready.
When asked the purpose of your trip, it's better to answer 'tourism' rather than saying you're relocating to Batumi — this is the simplest way to avoid extra questions at the border.
