Passengers told to be wary of individuals demanding fees to get entry permission to SL or third country

The Foreign Ministry yesterday urged all prospective Sri Lankan travellers to be cautious of individuals who demand payment or fees or any form of financial charges to facilitate entry permission to Sri Lanka or any third country.

The Foreign Ministry, issuing a statement, said that no individual or entity is authorised by the Government to facilitate entry to or exit from Sri Lanka other than the Government institutions concerned.

“The repatriation process, which was temporarily suspended due to the rising numbers of caseloads in the country, will be resumed in the coming weeks with priority offered to the most vulnerable and deserving cases,” it said.

Those who reside overseas may contact their nearest Sri Lanka Embassy, Sri Lanka High Commission or Consulate General for further, authentic information or register their concerns on the Contact Sri Lanka web portal at https://www.contactsrilanka.mfa.gov.lk/
