Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated last night that Maldivians will be able to obtain the Sri Lankan visa according to the existing agreement between the two countries.
Previously, all visitors get a 30 day visa on arrival at the charge of USD 50. However, the country now issues a 6 month visa instead of a 30-day visa for all visitors which incurs an expense of about USD 101 following the introduction of a new e-visa system in Sri Lanka.
