Sri Lanka has suspended the operation of the portal for electronic visa processing under the management of VFS Global.
According to the Telegram channel @ranarod, on August 2, the website was blocked by the decision of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka.
In addition, the court decided to return the status quo that existed before April 18, 2024, when the local company Mobitel was the operator of the visa platform.
It is currently unknown when the old visa portal will be available again. Until then, visas on arrival in Sri Lanka will be relevant for the entry of tourists. It is clarified that for Russian citizens, a single-entry visa on arrival for up to 30 days is issued free of charge.
