Western
Why is it impossible for a Sri Lankan to couch-surf in Western countries?
I as a Sri Lankan can never get a visa granted, to USA,Canada, Europe, Australia or New Zealand, if I say I am going to travel by Couch-surfing. I have to show confirmed return Air ticket, hotel bookings, submit travel itinerary, Big amount of money in bank account, and so many other documents and still will not get a visa approved, nor the 150/200 US$ I paid for Visa fee returned.
But any foreigner can arrive at Sri Lankan Airport will be granted on arrival visa for 30 days for free.
Why is this Step- Motherly treatment? Is tourism a one way process? Only westerners can travel Not the Sri Lankans? Are we Untouchables?

Sadly the reason is that too many Sri Lankans skip their visa and do not return home. My son has a Sri Lankan girlfriend, she cannot get a visa without a large bond being put up. about 8 years ago
