How much cash can I carry into Sri Lanka?

You are able to bring up to USD 15,000 or the equivalent in another foreign currency into Sri Lanka. Still, if you happen to be carrying more than USD 10,000, then you legally must declare it to customs when you arrive.

If you fail to declare a sum that is above USD 10,000, the money can be confiscated, and there can be serious fines. Please make sure you go through the red customs channel and complete the needed declaration forms if your cash goes past that limit.
