Sri Lanka plans to scrap the 'visa on arrival' system applicable to 78 countries, including India, from next year in bid to streamline the issuance of the travel document.
The government has been complaining of foreign nationals abusing the on arrival visa policy. The new system is being viewed as an attempt to streamline the entry visas system prevailing.
The new electronic travel authorization (ETA) would enable the authorities to track down any foreigner who will overstay in the country, officials said today.
With effect from January 1, 2012, the government will scrap its visa on arrival system applicable to 78 countries including India.
