Foreigners coming to Sri Lanka had to face a problematic situation in obtaining visas.<br \/>Therefore, with the intervention of the Ministry of Public Security and according to the court&#8217;s decision, visa issuance was resumed according to the old system within the past 24 hours. Starting at midnight yesterday, getting a visa was easy. Foreigners can now easily apply for a visa online. Visas will be issued within 24 hours after these activities are started.<br \/>The visa issue caused great distress. Now, we have solved the problem. We consulted the Attorney General about it, and we acted immediately according to the court decision.<br \/>Also, we have already taken steps to immediately implement a forensic audit of the irregularity caused by providing this to VFS. The audit will investigate the irregularities in this transaction, and legal action will be taken in the future.<br \/>Those in the business and investment field will now also get the same facility.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\u0d87\u0db8\u0dad\u0dd2 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0da2\u0dd2\u0dad \u0db4\u0dd0\u0dba 24\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc0\u0dd3\u0dc3\u0dcf \u0d9c\u0dd0\u0da7\u0dc5\u0dd4\u0dc0 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc3\u0db3\u0dba\u0dd2 | Trending Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DjB7XlAvTeM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-comments-closed saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-26885' class='saic-link saic-icon-link saic-icon-link-true auto-load-true' href='?post_id=26885&amp;comments=0&amp;get=30&amp;order=DESC' title='0 Comments'><i class='saico-comment'><\/i><span>0<\/span> Comments<\/a><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-link--><div id='saic-wrap-commnent-26885' class='saic-wrap-comments' style='display:none;'><div id='saic-wrap-form-26885' class='saic-wrap-form saic-clearfix'><div class='saic-form-avatar'><\/div><div id='saic-container-form-26885' class='saic-container-form saic-no-login'><p>Comments are closed<\/p><\/div><!--.saic-container-form--><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-form--><div id='saic-comment-status-26885'  class='saic-comment-status'><\/div><ul id='saic-container-comment-26885' class='saic-container-comments saic-order-DESC ' data-order='DESC'><\/ul><div class='saic-holder-26885 saic-holder'><\/div><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-comments--><\/div><!--.saic-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NPP government has worked to provide solutions to the major issue of obtaining visas.
