President Ranil Wickremesinghe has ordered an investigation into the notification issued to Russian and Ukrainian tourists, which required them to leave the country within 14 days without prior Cabinet approval.
The Sri Lankan Government has not officially decided to revoke the visa extensions previously granted to these tourists, the President’s Media Division said in a statement.
On February 22nd, the Department of Immigration and Emigration issued an order revoking the free visa extension granted for tourists.
The decision has reportedly been taken after complaints that many of these tourists were involved in businesses and remained in Sri Lanka for longer periods. (NewsWire)
