Hotline to inquire about obtaining electric vehicle permits

 

 

The Ministry of Labour and Foreign Employment has introduced three telephone numbers for obtaining information, including a hotline number to refer problems related to obtaining electric vehicle import permits under the recently introduced initiative of allowing Sri Lankan migrant workers remitting money through formal channels to import an electric vehicle. 

Minister of Labour and Foreign Employment Manusha Nanayakkara recently obtained the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers to allow migrant workers to import an electric vehicle based on the amount they remit to the country through official channels. 

Accordingly, a migrant worker who has remitted more than 3,000 US dollars through official channels from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023, will be granted a license to import an electric motorcycle with a CIF value of 50 percent less than the amount sent.
