The Department of Immigration and Emigration handles the arrivals and
departures of more than 6 million sea and air passengers annually. In
recognition of their exceptional performance, the department has been
awarded with the coveted first place at the National Productivity Awards
in 2006.
The embarkation/disembarkation card will employ a new format which is
designed to make computerisation and collection of information trouble
free. This card plays a major role in containing the details of
passengers, and is of importance not only to the Immigration department,
but also to the Tourist Board and to the Department of Census and
Statistics as well.
With this upgrade it is possible to enhance the quality of
information gathered from these cards, which in turn will be utilized
productively to develop the tourism industry.
Controller General, Department of Immigration and Emigration P.B.
Abeykoon said, "This is a historic moment for the Department of
Immigration and Emigration of Sri Lanka, as it is the first time that
this card is to be done in partnership with an external organization.
We are indeed happy to join hands with Mobitel, the National Mobile
Service Provider, which we consider as a move that will strengthen our
organization greatly. |
