Immigration Dept. revises student and resident visa guidelines
Student and resident visa guidelines have been revised from this month, Immigration Controller General Pasan Rathnayake told Times Online.
Accordingly, student visas will be issued only for one year thereby amending the previous policy which allowed visas to be issued for the full duration of the study programme.
Further, individuals who maintain cash deposits to obtain resident visas must invest those funds within one-month of obtaining the visa, Mr. Rathnayake said. He warned that the visas of those who do not adhere to this regulation would be cancelled.
Persons who maintain deposits of USD 500,000 would be offered a 10-year resident visa while those having a deposit of USD 300,000 will be given a five-year resident visa.
