Sri Lanka is planning to scrap free visa on arrival services for 78 countries. The country intends to start charging an electronic travel authorisation fee of US$50 (INR2,500) per person for a 30-day stay with double entry from 01 January 2012.
Chulananda Perera, Controller General of Sri Lanka’s immigration office told Lanka Business that it planned to monitor and track foreigners as they went around the country. “Each hotel and guest house will be given a machine, where foreigners will have to keep their passport on this machine before going to their room,” Perera said.
