What documents do I need for a Sri Lanka tourist visa?

For a tourist ETA, you must have a passport that is valid for at least six months after the day you plan to arrive. You also need a confirmed return ticket. You must also bring evidence that you can financially cover your stay.

  • Valid Passport: It must contain blank pages for entry stamps.
  • Onward Travel: A booked flight out of Sri Lanka verifies you do not intend to overstay.
  • Financial Proof: While rarely checked physically at the airport, immigration laws require you to have enough money to sustain your visit.

When applying online, you only need to enter your passport details; physical documents are inspected upon arrival.
