Sri Lanka to reduce visa fee after India request

The Department of Immigration and Emigration says steps will be taken to reduce the visa fee for visitors from all countries. The relevant proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Finance and Planning, Immigration and Emigration Controller Chulananda Perera said.

A processing fee of USD 50 was proposed to be charged per person when obtaining visa for Sri Lanka under the new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system.

The increase in the fee however had prompted India, through its High Commission, to request that the fee be reduced for its nationals and tourists from other SAARC nations.

India currently tops the list of holiday makers to Sri Lanka and has replaced Britain as the island’s top inbound travel market.
