The Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was relocated to the Ceylinco Building, 2nd Floor, No. 69 Janadhipathi Mawatha, Colombo 01 with effect from today.
The new premise was ceremonially opened by Minister of Foreign Affairs Mangala Samaraweera and launched a state of the art electronic Document Attestation System (e-DAS) that will reduce processing time for document attestation, with a quick verification process linked in real-time with Sri Lanka Missions and Consulates abroad, as well as other government institutions. An online system for appointments and payments will also be in place at the new premise.
The new premise is open to the public with effect from tomorrow onwards. However, to ensure uninterrupted service to the public, consular services will continue to be made available at the BOI building, as well, until further notice.
