What a joke! Now the tourists from all the rich countries are exempted. So, who is going to pay the hoodwinked $25 to fatten the Indian businessman now? It is the same cabinet that less than 4 months ago approved the handover of VISA to the bogus foreign VISA company (just because the company asked them) and increased the VISA fee, has now changed mindexempted most of the countries from requiring paid-VISA to visit Sri Lanka. Do they know what they are doing? It is that kind government some of fake patriots posting here to give the power to continue further.
