Sri Lanka to scrap visa on arrival

Issuing land permits will be discontinued in Sri Lanka so people wouldn't need to go through the hassle of going to the Sri Lankan embassy to obtain a visa. After fighting in Sri Lanka stopped in May of 2009, there has been a 50% increase in tourism and Sri Lanka wants to have more than 700,000 tourist next year.

What's cool is that they are trying to start up a system in which people can apply for their visas online! That would be much easier than going through millions of paperwork in order to obtain a visa that works for 30 days. Imagine being able to apply for any kind of visas online! That would be so much more convenient and people who don't have the time to go out to get a visa can do it whenever they want online. But I guess being able to get all kinds of visas online would cause some people to lose their jobs since people wouldn't be going into offices to get their visas done even though doing it online is so much easier.
