Sri Lanka e Visa: More information
To travel to Sri Lanka, most travelers must apply for an online visa for Sri Lanka (also known as the Sri Lanka e visa). Without the required travel permits, you won't be able to enter the country. Fortunately, most nationalities are eligible to apply online for a single-entry and/or a double-entry tourist visa.
Only citizens of Singapore, the Maldives, Seychelles, and the Czech Republic are exempt from a visa if they visit Sri Lanka for up to 30 days.
Thanks to Visagov's service, you can apply for the single-entry or the double-entry tourist visa entirely online. While the first allows you to travel to the country for 30 days one time, the second allows you to travel to the country twice for 60 days each time.
The Sri Lanka e Visa replaces the Sri Lanka ETA. Among these types of Sri Lanka eVisa, the one that most resembles the ETA is the single-entry tourist visa, as both travel authorizations are fully processed online for tourism purposes. However, now you can apply for longer eVisas. For example, with the double-entry tourist visa you will be able to enjoy the country as a tourist for up to 60 days on two occasions within 6 months.
The Government of Sri Lanka reserves the right of admission. If you lie or omit relevant information from your personal data, or the authorities suspect that you may be a threat to the security or interests of the country, they may deny entry.
