A country struggling with debt to overseas countries and banks has taken a STUPID stand . Never heard a tourist saying 'oh , we can go to that country because they have no visa fees. " . Sri Lanka,considered a beautiful country by many, needs foreign exchange . Some of us have plundered our reserves. They all in foreign bank accounts. We are digging ourselves a deep hole worth US$ 5 billion according to Immigration authorities. Wake up Sri Lanka !
