අද සිට පාස්පෝර්ට් නීති වෙනස් වෙලා ! පිටරට ඉන්න අයට වැදගත්ම නිවේදනයක්.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා රජයේ නව නීති රීති අනුව වර්ෂ 2018 ජනවාරි මස 01 දින සිට තානාපති කාර්යාලය සහ කොන්සල් ජනරාල් කාර්යාල හරහා නව ගමන් බලපත්‍ර ලබා ගන්නා වයස අවුරුදු 16 – 60 අතර වන සෑම පුද්ගලයෙකුම
ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට පැමිණෙන පළමු අවස්ථාවේදීම ඔවුන්ගේ ජෛවමිතික දත්ත(ඇගිලි සළකුණු) බත්තරමුල්ලේ පිහිටි ආගමන හා විගමන දෙපාර්තමේන්තුවේ ප්‍රධාන කාර්යාලයට හෝ එහි ප්‍රාදේශීය කාර්යාලයකට (මහනුවර, මාතර, වව්නියාව, කුරුණෑගල) ලබාදීම අනිවාර්ය වේ.

එසේ නොකරන පුද්ගලයන්ට රටින් බැහැරව යාමට නොහැකිවනු ඇත.

පිටරට ඉන්න ඔබේ මිතුරු මිතුරියන්ටත් දැනගන්න මේ වැදගත් නිවේදනය Share කරන්න.
