A proposal has been submitted to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to obtain support for digitizing the process by which Sri Lankans apply for foreign travel documents through Sri Lankan missions and offices abroad.

The project has been jointly proposed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Employment and the Minister of Public Security, and submitted to the IOM to expedite the procedure.

Accordingly, the IOM has agreed to provide the necessary funding to implement the project covering 20 Sri Lankan overseas missions/offices. 

The project includes supplying biometric capture centres and related equipment, facilitating online connectivity with the Department of Immigration and Emigration, developing integrated systems/software, and providing necessary technical assistance.
