Explanations on the Visum

Do you need a visum? All German, Austrian and Swiss travelers to Sri Lanka require a valid visum. Sri Lanka electronic visums are divided into three categories: business travel visum, tourist viusm and transit visum. Applying for the right visum is very simple: You fill out the application form in good time before your departure, pay the costs and receive your visa automatically by email. If you urgently need a visa because you are traveling to Sri Lanka on short notice, we recommend that you submit an urgent application, which is usually approved after just 23 minutes.

Explanations of the terms "Visum Sri Lanka", "E-Visum Sri Lanka" and "ETA Sri Lanka". Most travelers do not stay in Sri Lanka for more than 30 days. These travelers apply for the digital variant of the Sri Lanka visa, also known as an e-visum or ETA. The advantage of this digital visa: You can easily apply for it online. If you are not staying in Sri Lanka for more than 30 days, you do not need to go to the embassy or consulate and simply submit your application online.

Visa validity

You need a valid Visum or ETA for six months to enter Sri Lanka . An ETA entitles you to one-time entry to Sri Lanka for a maximum stay of 30 days. You do not need to have booked a flight ticket at the time of application. When entering Sri Lanka, however, you must be able to show a ticket for the return or onward journey. In addition, you must be able to demonstrate sufficient financial means for your stay in Sri Lanka. You must also have a passport that is valid for at least six months when you enter Sri Lanka.

The ETA is a so-called double-entry visa. This means that you can leave Sri Lanka once and enter again within the 30 days' validity. Please note that the final departure from Sri Lanka - even if you are leaving and returning to and from Sri Lanka in the meantime - must take place within 30 days of the first entry, unless you have applied for and received an extension of the validity of the visum.

When you enter Sri Lanka, you have to prove the following:

1. A passport that is valid for at least 6 months on the day of your arrival
2. A plane ticket for your return or onward journey
3. Sufficient financial means to finance your stay

Do you intend to work in Sri Lanka? If you want to enter into an employment relationship with an employer in Sri Lanka, live in Sri Lanka or study, you must apply for a special visum at the consulate. A business visa, which you apply for on this website, is sufficient for a business trip.
