Sri Lankans warned against going abroad for employment on Visit Visas

Newsfirst and Newswire report that Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism has cautioned Sri Lankans against travelling overseas on visit visas to take up jobs. Ada Derana and Hiru News also report that the ministry issued a warning.

Newsfirst says difficulties experienced by Sri Lankans who travelled abroad using tourist or visit visas have grown. It connects those cases to deceptive schemes offering work in destinations that include Malaysia and Dubai.

Newsfirst describes overseas job promises as potentially costly for those who rely on them. The reports provide no additional details about specific guidance from the ministry or any follow-up action.
