Controller General of Immigration and Emigration, R. M. P. S. B. Rathnayake yesterday said a new passport was issued to former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on May 7 this year.

However, he said the issuance of passport doesn’t necessarily mean a citizen has or has not renounced their dual citizenship.

Earlier, Mr. Rajapaksa said he was issued a new passport by the Immigration and Emigration Department after his dual-citizenship was renounced.

dual citizens can have a Sri Lankan passport while holding citizenships from other countries.

Nothing to do with the SL Passport. He must show his American Passport with the cancellation of his citizenship in America. His wife and children are in US as well as his both feet are there when his body only shadows in Sri Lanka.
