The Government of France has relaxed the travel advisory to Sri Lanka, from recommending ‘Only essential travel’ to ‘Exercise caution’.
The update was published by the French Government after President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced that the State of Emergency imposed in the country at present would not be further extended after August 18, 2022 as there is no major threat in Sri Lanka.
Given the latest development in the island nation, the French Government has recommended its citizens to maintain a high level of vigilance when travelling in Sri Lanka and in any case, avoid any gatherings, especially of a political nature.
It also urged the French tourists to go forward with the travel plans with the local travel agencies for inland travel, stating they are “Best placed” to manage fuel supplies for registered tourist vehicles.
