Furthermore, it has been determined that the visa-free service, previously available to citizens of seven countries – India, China, Russia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia will remain in effect.
Additionally, the Department of Immigration and Emigration will assume full responsibility for issuing the relevant visa upon entry of a foreigner into Sri Lanka.
