Special Weekend Service Launched to Meet Public Demand
Sri Lankans requiring urgent document attestation now have a new option available to them, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism announcing a special Saturday service to cater to those who cannot attend during regular weekday working hours.
Who Can Benefit?
The initiative is primarily aimed at individuals with pressing needs for attested documents, including those preparing to travel abroad for employment, education, or other purposes. The move is expected to provide significant relief to applicants who often face long queues and extended waiting periods at the ministry's attestation counters during the standard working week.
A Step Towards Greater Accessibility
The decision reflects the ministry's recognition that document attestation is a time-sensitive requirement for many Sri Lankans, particularly migrant workers and students awaiting overseas placements. By extending services into the weekend, the ministry aims to reduce backlogs and improve overall accessibility for the public.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism has announced a special Saturday service for individuals who urgently require document attestation.
Members of the public are advised to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly or visit its official channels for further details regarding operating hours, required documentation, and any appointment procedures that may apply for the Saturday service.
This development is part of broader efforts by relevant government institutions to streamline services and reduce bureaucratic delays for citizens navigating overseas employment and travel processes.
