What is the visa process for ordaining foreigner monks in Sri Lanka?

Wouldn't it be not more important to think about how to leave ones land without duties left and then look around if there are places who still accept a homeless state? It might be the times are already gone and householder domain remain where there was once a way out.
How could a monk, taking his mode of live serious, look after such as Visa, makes contracts, ask for stay... that's nonsense or?
Look discussion about the matter here, a very serious one.
If wishing to walk a juristic way, a lay person could possible walk, ask as refuge for asylum.
[Note that is not an answer to feed ones stackes, or for exchange, trade, Buddh-ism, but as always an compassionate advice for simply ones liberation, so one may delete it if the place is not given for such but up to bind people.]

Previous discussion from Dhamma Wheel.
1) I have obtained a residency visa by this method in the past and it states it clearly in the NUA information:
- After arriving in Sri Lanka with the entry visa, you can apply for the resident visa. You will be given a 30 day-visa on arrival, and the monastery will help you to apply for the resident visa. Visas for monks and nuns are free. Lay people need to pay for the application. (~Rs 20,000/USD200 per year).
In relation to the visa, understand that Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country and the religion carries great influence in the secular sphere as well, it is part of Sri Lankan nationalism, just as Hinduism is in India. Don’t worry about the visa, if you have a genuine intention to become a monk, then NUA will organise it.
2) This, including the language barrier, has a disadvantage for foreigners, as they are regarded as outsiders and you will have to find your own way within the monastic system. You will be able to choose your own teacher and in many other ways will have to make your own decisions. The situation will not be a clear-cut training as you expect. It is not a training monastery (pirivena).
NUA APPROXIMATE TIMELINE TO BHIKKHU ORDINATION
1-4 months: Upāsaka (8 Precepts) 6-12 months Pabbajjā (going forth) and abiding as a Sāmaṇera (Novice monk) (10 Precepts and 75 Sekhiya rules) January – March: Vinaya Classes April: Vinaya Exam June: Upasampadā (higher ordination) at Galduwa Monastery
3) You should be familiar with the eight precepts and the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka as custodian of the dhamma after it declined in India.
