These amounts roughly made best estimates on your expenditure during your 6 weeks of

amount separately USD .Do not exchange in to other currencies.
The amount includes AIESEC administration & Management costs ,cost on main
accommodation., transportation cost for the tours and accommodation cost for the tours.
Since you all are coming for voluntary based internship ,you need to have Entry Visa , but not
tourist visa .AIESEC Colombo North Local Committee is taking care of getting entry visa for each &
every intern & maximum it will take 4 weeks of time . We will be informing you once your visa is
ready so the you can got to your Sri Lankan embassy & get the things done
If you do not have an embassy, we will be sending you a document call “landing endorsement” ,so
you need to take that document & can stamp visa at the Sri Lankan Airport once you arrived.
Since the project goes for more than one month you need to extend your visa for another one
month & it’s a mandatory, so the amount we have mentioned in the table is for the visa extension

Net Promoter
score(NPS)
NPS is simple mechanism used for checking the quality of the delivery of all our programs.
It is a tool launched by AIESEC International whereby participants fill a simple survey as
shown in the image bellow. Based on the score given, they would be classified as Detractors
(1-6), Passives (7-8) or Promoters (9-10). We are hoping to get more or promoters but the
idea is to identify detractors to improve the service of our programs in order to get more
promoters whose stories we can showcase.
Interns (GIP & GCDP participants) and members (TMP & TLP participants) would be
receiving this survey periodically. Please ensure you fill this so we can act on this.
