Wondering if there are many people booked on the march 2020 trip with the problems that have been going on over the past few weeks. Just hope that things are sorted out by the time we go away.

Hi Shellnortheast,

For March 2020 we have 3 bookings.

We are continually monitoring the situation in Sri Lanka, and will take advice from the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office regarding travel in the coming weeks/months. At the moment, they advise against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka.

We anticipate that the FCO will update this information on a regular basis, but in the meantime please be advised that our Operations team are closely monitoring the situation and getting advice from our representatives in Sri Lanka. We will of course let you know should any further Foreign Office updates affect holidays. Please note - We are not as yet cancelling any of our forthcoming holidays for later in the year, but will make a decision on October departures by 31st August 2019, dependant on FCO advice at the time.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Hi Vicki,

I saw this post from May earlier this year. Is there still trouble in Sri Lanka? I was thinking of booking the Feb trip

I am on the Feb 27th departure Pam.  Hoping the Sri Lankan government will extend the visa amnesty.

Hi Jonah!

I've booked my flight to Heathrow for the 27th and looking forward to this trip. I'll be sending my visa application documents off to Just You this week so hopefully everything will be in order.

I didn't know about a visa amnesty in Sri Lanka, presumably Just You are on it?
