Sri Lanka eVisa – Convenient Digital Entry for Tourists, Business & Transit Travelers
Sri Lanka offers a secure and fully online eVisa system that simplifies the travel process for international
visitors. This digital platform supports various travel purposes including tourism, business visits, and transit,
eliminating the need for embassy appointments or in-person submissions.
Travelers can apply by completing an online form, uploading required documents such as a passport copy and a recent
photo, and paying the visa fee electronically. Once approved, the eVisa is delivered via email and must be printed
and shown at immigration upon arrival in Sri Lanka.
The available visa options include a Tourist Visa and a Business Visa, both valid for up to 180 days and permitting
double entry. Each stay under these visas is limited to a maximum of 30 days. Additionally, a Transit Visa is
available for those passing through Sri Lanka, also allowing two entries of up to 30 days each.
Processing typically takes between 24 to 72 Hours. It is recommended to apply at least a week
prior to travel to ensure timely approval.
