The Defence and Urban Development Ministry said today that foreigners wishing to visit the North should obtain prior permission from the Ministry.

It seems to be that SL is busy with isolating North. Please include east as well, then we will be happy.

This is the five star democracy they talk about. Army is ruling the country. Department of immigration is silent.

[quote name="SILVA"]Looks like you are an ex tiger. As the govt repeatedly say do you have proof to substantiate the killing of 40,000 civilians in the north.Just accuse but no proof ...Bullshit !!!![/quote]

Looks like you are pretty illiterate. There is a big difference between Visa and permission. For you, they both may sounds or looks the same, but they only looks that way, they are not the same. Do bit of thinking before you say (or write) something, because what you say can clearly portray your level of education. I am sure government and the security forces have good reasons to implement this, after all, it was them who stand up to the terror of LTTE and made this country peaceful place for all Peace Loving Citizens. Where were you then?

Foreigners need Visa to enter Sri Lanka. Then they need another Visa to go to North. Are we slowly separating North from Sri Lanka map.?

Do u have any evidence to proof all the people visiting north are tigers? Don't put rubbish comments here.

If you have a foreign passport, then you're a foreigner. You're also entitled to all the privileges that you receive as a citizen of the relevant country.

What ever said and done, 75% of Sri lankans are Sinhala Buddhist. All we want is to live in this temporary life time of 75 years peacefully. Shoe making white Skinner is treated here as a BIG BOSS. I can not understand why Sri Lankans do not have courage to say the rulers to pave the way to self sustainability .

Even though now a foreigner visiting to North by bus should register his/her passport in the Omanthai check point. But the ridiculous think i have noted is, if you are travel by train or via Mannar then there is no registration required. Imagine the effectiveness of this rules and the authorities.

What about Sri lankans who are residents overseas with foreign passports are they also considered as foreigners? cannot they go to Jaffna? this is not clear something fishy.....

For obvious security reasons. There are plenty of folk interested in destabilizing the north. These foreigners are ex tigers in sheep s clothing?
BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 15 October 2014 07:33 AM
Isn't the north part of Sri Lanka? Why special permission? Is it bcos their is something else the GOSL wishes to hide?
