Sri Lankan officials say there were 42 foreign nationals confirmed dead in the Easter suicide bombings which claimed a total of 253 lives.
However another dozen foreigners are still unaccounted for and may still be among the unidentified bodies still lying in a Colombo morgue.
Five injured foreign nationals still remain in hospital.
Of those identified, 11 of the dead were Indian, there were six Britons, four from China and three from Denmark.
Two each died from Saudi Arabia, Spain and Turkey.
‘Human remains of 25 foreign nationals have been repatriated. Additionally, 12 foreign nationals are unaccounted for at present," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Large numbers of tourists fled the country in the days after the April 21 attacks and there has been a sharp decline in arrivals since with many cancelling trips.
Sri Lanka’s finance minister recently said a 30% decline in tourist arrivals is expected costing the country about $1.5 billion.
It could take one to two years to fully recover, the minister said.
