Sri Lanka has temporarily halted its visa-free travel plan for 40 nations, citing a legal dispute over the private contract handling e-visas. The pause affects Indian travelers and NRIs who often use Sri Lanka as a quick getaway or spiritual retreat destination.
Officials say the suspension is temporary, but travelers are advised to verify visa requirements before booking flights.
What this means for NRIs:
Possible delays in visa processing
Uncertainty for November-December holiday plans
Need for updated travel advisories
How important is visa-free access for your short getaways? Where’s your next dream trip?
