A tourist family has slammed Sri Lanka’s visa extension process for foreigners, describing the ordeal as ‘the most painful experience ever’.

The family, known as ‘The Hutchinsons’ on TikTok, had arrived in Sri Lanka under the visa-free scheme and had attempted to extend their visa at the Department of Immigration and Emigration in Battaramulla. 

The family said, however, that the visa extension experience was made difficult due to the lack of a proper procedure at the Immigration Department for foreign tourists. 

“Wow, what a tough day at the immigration office in Colombo, Sri Lanka! This definitely wasn’t worth the hassle for an extra week here. Anyway, all sorted and time to enjoy Christmas,” he added in a post on TikTok. (Newswire)
