Say in this tweet that from tomorrow noon all visas even the eta ones will be suspended. Supposed to be travelling on Sunday should I be worried? Anyone have any info? Thank you

If you have an approved ETA you are fine at the moment.

The tweet refers to you getting a visa when you reach immigration

I've been here a few days and SL news have reported two confirmed cases of the virus.

Thank you for the response. This one seems to suggest that even the online eta is suspended? Any idea on that

Open it in Twitter and read to the bottom...

ETA, that latest one is slightly different, and Seychelles is spelt correctly! Do you have an approved visa?

It says travelling for purposes deemed necessary. Does this count as a necessary purpose? And yes I have an approved eta visa that i completed online

 

[Tony B]

I know. On a mobile device.

Maybe check the on-lone status of your ETA or call SL high commission.

Gutted. Not sure what the next step is.

Takes a bit of shine off though.

Tell me about it. 2018 was brilliant. We have a couple of lads joining us for their first tour. Gutted for them. Luckily we do everything independently, so we will just change our itinerary and enjoy parts of Sri Lanka we've not visited before. It really is a fantastic country, friendly and safe. And Galle is always worth a couple of days anyhow. Just no England.....

I'll still go if we won't get quarantined. Wonder what the Barmy Army do, we're on the same flight as them, if they cancel the flight then we get a refund I guess.

Got out here this morning and surprised to hear the ECB were driving it! Talking to a few Sri Lankan’s, they aren’t too bothered by the prospect of it! Anyway, got 4 spare days in Galle now - anyone got any advice on things to do?

 

[Dankzy]

Don’t fly until Tuesday - suspect there is a decent chance Sri Lanka stop foreigners coming in by then.

Get a flight over to Thailand, safe and germ free....3and a bit hours

 

[Bishbash]

If you don't get on a flight because you will be quarantined on arrival are you likely to get a refund? Anyone know what official BA travellers are doing? Are they still flying out? We are on the same flight as them so thinking if they all don't fly they might cancel and we get a refund.

Keep us posted - unless SL pull the drawbridge up we are still planning to go on Tuesday. Anybody know if the Sri Lanka junior league matches are still taking place?
