Sri Lanka hosts US visa program
The US Embassy in Colombo says there is no truth in the rumors that Sri Lanka has been included in the US ‘Visa Waiver Program’.
The US Embassy has issued an official Twitter message, stating that the US State Department has issued a list of 39 countries, which include members that can stay in the United States for a specified period without visas.
Accordingly, the number of non-visa US programs implemented by the US Department of State includes thirty-nine countries, Japan, Brunei, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea.
With the entry of Sri Lanka as a country fighting global terrorism, after the Easter Bomb, US President Mahinda Rajapaksa has given lottery winnings to the country, quoting the Associated Press and some news websites and social media.
The US visa-free program is an opportunity for the US State Department to spend 90 days in the United States. The countries entering this program can visit the United States 72 days prior to filling in the form and fill in a US $ 14 per entry fee.
When an air ticket is then taken to the United States, when the previous permit is shown to immigration officials, it will be allowed to spend 90 days in America. This permission is for visitors to the United States for travel and business purposes only. If you spend more than 90 days in the United States, you must apply for a visa.
