Samagi Jana Sandhanaya Presidential candidate MP Sajith Premadasa vows to annul the “corrupt VFS visa agreement signed by the current government”.
According to MP Premadasa’s election manifesto launched yesterday, a new modern system will be established to allow foreign tourists to obtain visas easily at a lower cost.
Additionally, steps will also be taken to ensure accountability for this transaction, which is considered the largest corruption case in Sri Lanka.
The election manifesto further states that a Samagi Jana Sandhanaya government will implement a visa-free entry programme for citizens of 100 countries.
Under the programme, tourists will be allowed to visit Sri Lanka for up to one month without the need for a pre-arrival visa.
The proposal addresses the problems faced due to the current visa issuance process at the Katunayake Airport.
