Legal action in Lanka against visa overstayers in Korea
Foreign Employment Minister Thalatha Athukorale has sought the help of the South Korean government to identify Sri Lankans who are visa overstayers in that country.
The appeal came when she visited Seoul and held talks with her counterpart Lee Ki-Kweon.
She learnt from the South Korean Minister that there are 50,000 Sri Lankan workers in that country under the Employment Permit Scheme.
According to the Minister Athukorale, the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment has introduced a bond scheme where workers proceeding to South Korea are required to sign a guarantee to return. As a result of the scheme, some of the visa overstayers who returned to Sri Lanka are now facing legal action, she said.
