A Sri Lankan national transiting at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on his way to Germany on a forged visa was picked up by the country’s National Immigration Agency’s Special Cross-Unit Task force on Friday and was deported to Sri Lanka.

According to the agency, the individual had arrived in Taiwan on a China Airlines flight from Singapore bound for Frankfurt, Germany, purportedly on a business trip.

The agency said that the NIA task force noticed a discrepancy in his visa. After detaining him and checking the visa with the Borders Affairs Corps, the visa was determined to be forged.
