Dual Citizenship Law - important
Resumption process
According to Sri Lankan Citizenship Law, Sri Lanka citizens who obtain the citizenship of another country will automatically loose the Sri Lankan citizenship and becomes an Ex Sri Lankan. Someone loosing citizenship means legally such persons are not entitled for rights usually enjoyed by Sri Lankan citizens. It is mandatory by Law that immediately upon receipt of foreign citizenship the Sri Lankan authorities should be notified the acquisition of new citizenship and should surrender your Sri Lankan Passport. Any person continues to use Sri Lankan Passport while holding foreign citizenship committing an offence under Sri Lankan Law. Any person who lost the Sri Lankan Citizenship and wishes to regain it must apply and obtain the Sri Lankan Dual Citizenship through a procedure called “Resumption process.” (Section 19 .3 Citizenship Act 1948)
Retention process

Those Sri Lankans who are holding Permanent Residency Permit / status in a foreign country are considered as Sri Lankan Citizens and have rights to use Sri Lankan Passport. However most of such Permanent Residency Permit holders will likely to obtain foreign Citizenship in the future and in such an event they will loose the Sri Lankan Citizenship. Sri Lankan Citizenship Law allows its citizens who are holding Permanent Residency Permit / status to apply for Dual Citizenship before they loose the Sri Lankan Citizenship through a procedure called “Retention process”. (Section 19 .2 Citizenship Act 1948)
