written by CN Source

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has announced plans to launch a new “Global Sri Lankan Heritage Citizen” programme aimed at second and third-generation members of the Sri Lankan diaspora.

Unveiling the proposal in the 2027 Budget Speech, the President said Sri Lanka must adopt a new approach to tap the knowledge, skills, experience and enduring connection to the motherland held by overseas Sri Lankans and their descendants.

Under the initiative, the Government proposes to grant dual citizenship free of charge to the spouses and children of dual citizenship applicants. The benefit will also be extended to third-generation children of Sri Lankan origin living abroad.
