Tourist Visa Choices & Entry Rules for Visiting Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, known for its tropical beaches, tea plantations, and ancient cultural sites, offers streamlined entry options for short-term tourists. Most travelers must obtain an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before arrival, which typically allows stays of 30 days and can be extended once inside the country.

Visitors who prefer advance processing can apply for a Tourist Visa directly through Sri Lankan embassies or consulates. Required documents often include a valid passport, travel details, proof of accommodation, and sufficient financial means for the stay.

For longer visits or specific purposes—such as study, business, volunteering, or work—Sri Lanka provides additional long-stay visa categories. Selecting the correct visa type ensures a smooth entry and a hassle-free experience on the island.
