Sri Lanka has offered 242,000 Work Visas by now to overseas workers informed the Member of Parliament Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena. The Singapore FTA experts report has said that the numbers can boost under FTA, he added.

The committee of experts has examined the Singapore- Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement said the MP. It has verified the concerns that were expressed in the last few months said Abeywardena.

Our view that the Sri Lankan market would not be expanded through SCLSFTA has been accepted by the experts' committee said the MP. We have by now offered 2.4 lakh Work Visas to overseas workers for industries and investments through BOI - the Board of Investment. The expert committee report says that several more may arrive at the nation via SLSFTA, added Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena.

The report elaborates that Architecture, Labour, Dentistry, and Engineering fields may be opened for overseas nationals.

Any overseas national with Singapore Visa will be able to arrive at Sri Lanka to work through SLSFTA. This pact for trade is just 1% beneficial towards Sri Lanka and must be ended, said the MP, as quoted by the Daily Mirror IK.

Residency Visas can be offered to immigrants who intend to stay for work or other purposes for long-term in Sri Lanka. This is only after the authorities are convinced that the applicant is not a threat to the best interests of the nation.

Sri Lanka Work Residency Visa is for professionals who are:

  • Hired to work on projects approved by the State
  • Immigrant workers hired for a project under the Sri Lanka BOI - Board of Investors
  • Workers needed for private firms and employees of authorized NGOs
