The Government has decided to lift the temporary restriction imposed on inbound travelers with effect from June 1, the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) said.
CAASL Chairman Upul Dharmadasa said the restriction on the passengers who have been to India within the last 14 days will continue until further notice.
"The total number of passengers allowed not to exceed 75 plus tourists per flight and all inbound travellers should be mandatorily quarantined at a Quarantine Hotel/Quarantine Centre/Safe and Secured Certified Level 1 Hotel until the completion of 14 days as per the guidelines issued by the Director General of Health, irrespective of the type/ number of vaccine doses administered," the Chairman said.
The Sri Lankan passport holders and Dual Citizens do not require any approval to land in Sri Lanka, he said.
Foreign nationals, Seafarers, Business, Investors etc. require approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enter Sri Lanka along with the entry visa, Mr. Dharmasena said
