ISLAMABAD: The Sri Lankan government has cancelled the on-arrival visa facility for Pakistani nationals, a move taken in view of the rising number of political asylum cases in Sri Lanka.
The sources said that the Sri Lankan foreign ministry has officially informed the Pakistan government about its decision.
The Pakistanis seeking to visit Sri Lanka will have to obtain visa before departing for the Island nation.
The sources said that on-arrival visa facility has been cancelled on the request of the Pakistani government to discourage the rising trend of asylum seekers.
