Sri Lanka will introduce a five-year multiple entry tourist visa with a six-month stay for 35 countries, Minister of Tourism Harin Fernando says.

In a tweet posted on his official account today, the lawmaker said the Cabinet of Ministers has green-lighted the proposal.

Minister Fernando noted that this is in an addition to the one-year multiple entry and single entry tourist visas which have a six-month stay period, which was previously limited to 30 days.

The decision was taken to boost “repeat tourism” in Sri Lanka, he added.
