AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoVisa Liberalisation Wave: Sri Lanka has just rolled out a free 30-day on-arrival tourist visa for travellers from 40 countries, including India, but with a catch: everyone still needs an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arrival, and the visa allows double entry within the 30 days. Pan-African Mobility Push: The Republic of the Congo joins the growing club of African states scrapping or easing visa rules for African travellers, echoing a wider push to boost intra-African trade and tourism. Seychelles in the Mix: Seychelles is explicitly named among countries tied to Sri Lanka’s ETA rules, while locally the country keeps tightening its tourism leadership—Vesna Rakić is appointed CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board and Air Seychelles board leadership is refreshed. Culture & Governance: Seychelles’ Assembly is also moving on a major culture reform bill (Bill No. 7 of 2026), aimed at reshaping how culture, heritage and arts institutions are run.
