An incident involving a frustrated Sri Lankan denied a visa during on-arrival processing has gone viral.
The issue stems from an Indian company now handling visa processing at Bandaranaike International Airport, reportedly charging extra fees from tourists. Following the incident, the Indian company's officials reportedly left the airport due to the situation.
Previously, the Immigration Department charged 20 US Dollars from SAARC country tourists and 50 US Dollars from others for a 30-day visa, exempting certain countries.
However, the new contractor charges an additional 22 US Dollars from SAARC travelers and those from visa-accepted countries, and 50 US Dollars more from tourists from other nations.
