Need rules for your passport?
Use the eligibility matrix above to check nationality-specific requirements and travel rules for your passport.
How the Matrix Works
The matrix maps Sri Lanka's 3 eVisa options (Tourist Evisa (Double Entries), Business Evisa (Multiple Entries for 30 days), Transit Evisa (Single Entry for 48 hours)) against nationality, so you can see at a glance which route fits your passport, the typical 30 days or 2 days, and whether Double Entries or Multiple Entries or Single Entry applies — before you start an application for Sri Lanka.
Visa Exemptions
Some nationalities are exempt from a Sri Lanka eVisa for short visits, while others must use a traditional embassy route. If your passport shows as "regulated entry" for Asia Pacific, our team can review your specific case before you pay.

How to use this requirements page effectively
- Confirm your nationality is eligible for one of Sri Lanka's 3 eVisa options (Tourist Evisa (Double Entries), Business Evisa (Multiple Entries for 30 days), Transit Evisa (Single Entry for 48 hours)) before you pay any fee.
- Match your trip to the allowed stay (commonly 30 days or 2 days) and choose the correct entry type — Sri Lanka currently supports Double Entries or Multiple Entries or Single Entry.
- Allow for standard processing of about 5 working days and prepare documents first to avoid preventable delays.
- Verify your intended port of entry matches Sri Lanka eVisa conditions before booking flights.
