My wife was traveling to Europe on a Schengen visa, it is usual for the airport staff to check the visa before anyone boards the plane. Well the sad thing is the IDIOTS at the Katunayake International airport who check the Schengen visa at the Gate to the flight don't know the different types of visas. They simply did not know that if the stay is longer than 3 months the visa issued by the Schengen states is a temporary residency permit and not a tourist visa.
May be the airport authorities need to check this and not put donkeys to do a humans job. These donkeys had taken 45 minutes to just verify this facts. Ultimately a blasting from my wife had got the thing done. Trust me if you ever travel, be firm, treat these buggers like s**t and assert yourself, that will get the thing done, that's the trick I use (sadly I forgot to tell her this).
This is the most likely situation to occur when one gets political boot lickers' joining the service showing a letter from ministers. Just because they "hosh posh" a little in English they think they are I.T. it, they fellows don't have the brain of a jellyfish. This is the reason why Sri Lanka stagnates if not deteriorates day by day. Wrong person in the wrong job, these buggers should be put to clean the toilets in the airport.

Do not generalize one incident and start slamming all staff.. In your trip to Europe, you will see how strict those officers, long queues in immigration counters, hours of delays.. certainly much more than you have experienced.
The thing with our guys is they can not stand for any mistake and trying to expect everything to be perfect. I have seen it many times with our "LOCAL FOREIGNERS" while waiting to enter and leave my country.
