Sri Lanka Visa

Sri Lanka Visa and ETA Online

Just before departure, it is important to contact the embassies and consulates to ensure that the entry conditions in the territory have not changed. We recommend you to scan or photocopy of all your important documents ( passport pages, credit cards, insurance, train tickets / airplane / bus, driving license, etc.). Keep these copies separate from the originals. This will more easily be replacing the documents in case of loss or theft.
