VISA ERROR

7 years ago

Hi

Desperately need some advice - I accidentally placed my wife's Passport number in my Tourist Visa application and mine in hers.

We both now have been accepted for our online Visa applications but the details are wrong, and I cannot re-apply because both passports already exist on the system.

I called the Sir Lanka Visa office in Columbo and spent 2 hours on hold / phone ringing out before the office shut for the day.

I then called the High Commission in London who were fairly useless promising to forward on an email which I have sent in.

Any thoughts on what will happen on arrival if I arrive with Visas in this state? Im travelling with 2 young kids too (their visas are fine!)

I'm due to fly in 2 days.
Please Heeelp!

Thanks

Mark
