The Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is presently located at the BOI building, third floor at No.14, Sir Baron Jayathilake Mawatha in Fort, will today be relocated to the Ceylinco Building, second floor, No. 69 Janadhipathi Mawatha, Colombo 1.

The new premises will be ceremonially opened by Foreign Affairs Minister Mangala Samaraweera today. The Foreign Minister will also launch a state-of-the-art electronic Document Attestation System (e-DAS) which will reduce processing time for document attestation, with a quick verification process linked in real-time with Sri Lanka missions and consulates abroad as well as other Government institutions. An online system for appointments and payments will also be in place at the new premises.

The new premises will be open to the public from tomorrow. However, to ensure uninterrupted service to the public, consular services will continue to be made available at the BOI building as well until further notice.
