The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has issued an interim order suspending the new eVisa platform, which was implemented in April 2024.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Travelers who have applied and obtained an eVisa from the new system will not be affected and will be able to utilize their visas as long as they applied before 5:00 p.m. IST on Aug. 2, 2024.
BAL Analysis: The Supreme Court’s decision to suspend the eVisa considered fundamental rights petitions that challenged the potential procedural violations and negative impacts to the Sri Lankan tourism sector. BAL will continue following the suspension and will provide updates as information becomes available.
