RESERAPPORT SRI LANKA

Här kommer en liten rapport från styrelseledamoten Christina Riddebäck i Sweden-Sri Lanka Business Council (www.sslbc.se)

När jag med barn och barnbarn reste hit 8 december 2021 gick allt som smort.

Vi behövde:

1) Vaccinationsbevis (2-3 sprutor Om du inte tagit den 3:e försök få den)

2) PCR test som är negativ  –

3) Elektronisk hälsodeklaration

När du fyller i hälsodeklarationen ska du samtidigt bifoga vaccinationsbevis och PCR test när allt detta är klart får du en QR kod som du sedan scannar på flygplatsen i Colombo. Sen är det bara att åka in i landet.

Alla dokument bör finnas i både pappersformat och digitalt blev vi tipsade om. Jag passerade på flygplatsen i Clb medan en i sällskapet fick visa allt i pappersform också.

Sedan vi åkte in i landet har ingen efterfrågat dessa papper. Vissa hotell uppger att dom kommer efterfråga tex vaccinationsbevis men ingen har ännu frågat oss.

Läget i landet

100% av befolkningen använder munskydd när dom är utanför hemmet förutom när dom äter.

Inte alla hotell och restauranger är öppna.

boka för att få bada även om man är gäst.

Vad vi vet är de flesta gym öppna.

Ett varningens finger för att boka flyg med några av lågprisbolagen. Sett att flera inte kommit iväg pga av inställda resor.

Vi reste med Qatar och det funkade 100%.

Välkommen till paradisön!

ONLINE HEALTH DECLARATION
AT BANDARANAIKE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
In response to the current changes in passenger travel dynamics, Airport and Aviation Services Limited (AASL) has taken the initiative to implement an Online COVID-19 Health Declaration System at the Bandaranaike International Airport. The primary goal of implementing this system is to minimize the use of physical form filling and start encouraging passengers to use an online platform, thereby limiting physical contact and passenger process time. Furthermore, because the Health Authorities will be able to receive passenger information ahead of time, they can monitor the passengers’ health records while lowering waiting times.

The system can be accessed via the following link on AASL website www.airport.lk. https://www.airport.lk/health_declaration/health_declaration

01. Passengers must complete and submit the web application form by attaching the documents related to the health declaration – Vaccination card on the first and second doses. – A PCR test report must be completed within 72 hours of embarkation.

02. After submitting the online form, passengers will receive an email with a QR code.

03. Passengers’ information will be given to airport health officers before they arrive, and the information provided by the passengers will be reviewed.

04. Passengers who have completed their health declaration forms online should scan the QR code at the health declaration counter upon arrival. With the implementation of this pilot project at BIA, AASL expects to provide a convenient travel experience for its valued passengers, and after two weeks of testing, this service will be made widely available to benefit passengers arriving in Sri Lanka.
