Sri Lanka Visa for Filipino citizens (2026)

Can Filipino citizens get a Sri Lanka eVisa?

Sri Lanka grants online eligibility to Filipino citizens across 3 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Double Entries), Business Evisa (Multiple Entries for 30 days), Transit Evisa (Single Entry for 48 hours). Sri Lanka currently supports Double Entries or Multiple Entries or Single Entry, with a permitted stay of 30 days or 2 days. Government fees range from US$30.00 to US$85.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days, with faster options around 5 hours.

Documents and tips for Filipino travellers

Philippine passports usually need at least six months of validity beyond travel; check this early, as it is a frequent cause of refused boarding. Fees are billed in US dollars, so Filipino applicants should confirm their card is enabled for international/USD payments. The most common avoidable mistake for Filipino citizens: traveling on a passport with under six months validity, which can lead to denied boarding even with an approved eVisa.

• Match the application to the exact name and passport number on your Philippine passport.
• Keep proof of onward travel and accommodation ready, since Filipino travellers are often asked to show them.
• Apply with extra lead time before peak OFW travel seasons when processing volumes rise.
