Sri Lanka's government has granted visa-free entry to visitors from seven countries
Sri Lanka’s government has granted visa-free entry to visitors from seven countries. This program will be in effect until March 31, 2024. The eligible countries include India, China, Russia, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. The primary aim of this change is to attract more tourists to Sri Lanka, with the goal of reaching five million visitors in the years to come.
This initiative is designed to make it easier for tourists, saving them both time and money by eliminating the need for a visa application. The government expects that this move will entice more international travelers to consider Sri Lanka as their destination. Furthermore, there are plans to introduce an electronic ticketing system for various tourist sites in the country in the near future. It’s worth noting that China has also added Sri Lanka to its list of approved countries for Chinese tourists to visit.
