  • Sri Lanka implemented a new visa system in April 2024, involving a consortium of Indian companies.

  • The new system faced criticism due to increased visa costs, operational inefficiencies, and allegations of corruption.

  • A video criticizing Indian operators at the visa counters went viral, adding to the public discontent.

Legal Challenge

  • Opposition politicians and civil society organizations filed a petition alleging a multi-billion dollar scam linked to the new visa system.

  • The Supreme Court issued an interim order suspending the new visa system.

  • The court mandated the reinstatement of the previously used online visa system.

Potential Corruption and Financial Implications

  • The petitioners claimed that the Indian companies involved in the new system would profit significantly while the Sri Lankan government would receive minimal financial benefits.

  • The increased visa costs were seen as detrimental to the tourism industry, a vital source of foreign exchange for Sri Lanka.
