July 16, Colombo: Sri Lanka government emphasizes that all the Sri Lankans leaving for Maldives need to obtain a proper service agreement certified by the Sri Lanka Embassy in Maldives.

This service agreement is compulsory for the registration at the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau.

The Sri Lanka Embassy in Maldives faces difficulties in searching the information of the Sri Lankan migrant workers due to the remoteness of the islands and the difficulty to travel.
