Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Sri Lanka Visa

1. What is a Visa?

A visa is a document that allows eligible travelers to enter Sri Lanka for tourism, business, or transit purposes. It is electronically linked to your passport and eliminates the need to visit an embassy.

2. What types of Visa are available?

The main categories of Visa are:
* Tourist Visa (Single/Double Entry)
* Business Visa
* Transit Visa
Each type has its own validity and permitted duration of stay.

3. What is the Visa website?

A ticket is not mandatory to apply for a visa, but you may be required to present proof of onward travel at the port of entry.

6. How do I know if my Visa is still valid for travel to Sri Lanka?

You can check your visa status by contacting our support team or referring to the email confirmation. Ensure your passport remains valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival.
