Sri Lanka will withdraw visa-on-arrival facilities in August for all visitors to the country except those from Singapore or the Maldives.
Foreigners wishing to visit Sri Lanka will be required to pay for a visa online, or visit a Sri Lankan mission.
A statement from the Sri Lankan government said tourists without internet access would need to apply for visas through private agencies.
The decision has raised concern in Sri Lanka’s booming tourism sector about the potential impact on arrivals.
