Overseas, local pax to complete embarkation formalities online from January

The Department of Immigration has introduced an online facility to foreign and local passengers to complete their arrival and departure cards beginning January 1, 2023.

Accordingly, the arrival cards for foreigners coming to Sri Lanka and the departure cards of Sri Lankans leaving the country will be checked through the new system.

As such, both air passengers will have the facility to fill out their cards online three days prior to their travel.

The Department requested the passengers visit their department's official web site at www.immigration.gov.lk or through the https://eservices.immigration.gov.lk web page.

Thereby, it enables the passengers to complete the immigration and emigration formalities without any inconvenience, the Department said. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
