Sri Lankans residing in Italy are grappling with employment uncertainties as the conversion program for Sri Lankan driving licenses to Italian ones remains suspended for approximately two years.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively engaged in renegotiating the agreement, with discussions underway between motor vehicle authorities of both nations to address the pressing issue.
