The High Commission of India in Colombo said that it has received requests from Sri Lankan citizens from several walks of life in respect of visa and consular services.

The Commission said in a statement said despite that the High Commission and its staff are committed to service these requests in the best possible way, delivery of public services, including those related to consular and visa matters in Sri Lanka had been affected due to the COVID-19 situation in Sri Lanka.

"In view of the current situation in Sri Lanka, where, according to official sources of heath ministry of Sri Lanka, the number of COVID related cases and fatalities have unfortunately seen an increase and the presence of globally prevalent Delta variant of the Corona Virus is also established, the High Commission has taken necessary steps to comply stringently with COVID-appropriate attendance and behaviour at the work place in the larger interest of public health," the High Commission said.

“Therefore, individuals wishing to avail of visa and consular services from the High Commission are requested to plan accordingly, keeping the above in mind, it said.

“The High Commission would like to reiterate its strong commitment to further strengthening the age-old, close and friendly ties between the two counties by promoting people-to-people exchanges through safe and COVID-appropriate travel,” it added.
