Hello abeywardener,

Welcome to expat.com!

Did you try contacting the relevant authorities?

This is what I found online: Department of Immigration and Emigration

Sri Lankan Identity Overseas

I suggest that you read this document, You might find the information that you require there.

All the best,

Yes that's a good suggestion from Yoginee. I went through the whole process from Australia and it was a complete mess and took many years because they lost some documents while sending them to Sri Lanka. In my opinion, it is best to submit your application and documents personally in Colombo when you next visit Sri Lanka.

Immigration and visa assistance

Comprehensive support with Sri Lanka visa applications and immigration procedures.
