Sri Lanka’s Immigration and Emigration Department has introduced an online visa system for travelers entering Sri Lanka by ship, a senior official said on Saturday.
Additional controller general of the department, Imal Gunawardena, told journalists that those who arrive in the country via ship can obtain a visa valid for four days using the online system. He added that this visa would cost 25 U.S. dollars.
Gunawardena said Sri Lanka has launched an official eVisa website and all visitors must complete an eVisa application before arriving in the country.
Recognizing the need to modernize and simplify this process, the Sri Lankan government has implemented an online visa system, providing a convenient and efficient solution for sea route visitors.
By streamlining administrative processes, the country can better manage visitor flows, ensure security measures, and preserve its natural and cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
The introduction of this system not only simplifies the visa application process but also contributes to the overall enhancement of Sri Lanka’s tourism infrastructure.
Gunawardena said an eVisa fee waiver scheme has been introduced for citizens of China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan until April 30, 2024, for tourism only.
By facilitating smoother entry procedures, the country aims to attract more sea route travellers, thereby bolstering its tourism sector and stimulating economic growth.
