The attention of the Foreign Ministry has been drawn to media reports referring to a release by the Free Media Movement stating that a Canadian journalist has been asked 'to provide a letter of agreement as a Sri Lanka visa condition'.

According to a Foreign Ministry release Foreign media personnel visiting Sri Lanka for normal news coverage could obtain visas without any condition or agreement of any kind.

Foreign media personnel coming in with the objective of making documentary films need to obtain prior approval as per the procedure laid down by the National Film Corporation. This is the normal procedure, which has been followed over the past several years for filming of documentaries in Sri Lanka by foreign media personnel. There are no new procedures and foreign media personnel are welcome to Sri Lanka at any time and report freely.
