Sri Lanka and Thailand have agreed to enter into a visa exemption agreement for holders of ordinary passports, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and facilitating travel between the two countries.
Under the proposed agreement, citizens of Sri Lanka and Thailand holding ordinary passports will be permitted to enter, exit and transit through the respective countries without obtaining a visa in advance.
The visa exemption will allow visitors to remain in the respective country for up to 30 days per visit, with a maximum cumulative stay of 90 days within a 180-day period.
The arrangement will apply to general tourism purposes and will not cover employment, education, media-related activities or other activities requiring prior approval.
The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a proposal submitted by the Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs to sign the visa exemption agreement between the governments of Sri Lanka and Thailand for ordinary passport holders.
