Sri Lanka Visa for Indian citizens (2026)

Can Indian citizens get a Sri Lanka eVisa?

Sri Lanka grants online eligibility to Indian 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 Indian travellers

Indian passports must usually have at least six months of validity and two blank pages; check both before you apply, as this is a frequent cause of refusals. Fees are billed in US dollars; Indian applicants should ensure their card is enabled for international transactions to avoid a declined payment. The most common avoidable mistake for Indian citizens: submitting with fewer than six months of passport validity or no blank pages, which is one of the most common reasons Indian applications are held.

• Enter your name exactly as in the Indian passport, including any continuation on the rear page.
• Confirm your card supports international/USD payments before checkout to avoid a failed transaction.
• Keep supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation) ready, as Indian applicants are more often asked to evidence them.
