Let\u2019s dive into the details and make sure your entry to this paradise is as seamless as the waves on its golden beaches.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>All tourists must get a valid visa before entering to Sri Lanka. Visa can be obtained online before arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5>This is the official site to apply online.\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p>h<b>ttps:\/\/www.eta.gov.lk\/slvisa\/visainfo\/<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You will get an immediate response to confirm receipt of your visa application.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It usually takes only 1 day to process.\u00a0 You can expect the visa confirmation within 24 hours. The fees are different depending on the country of your passport.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you are coming from a country other than a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) the fee is USD 50 for <a>30 days<\/a> stay as a tourist. For SAARC countries tourist visa is only USD 20 for 30 days stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you didn\u2019t get your online visa, don\u2019t worry, you still can get your tourist visa on arrival over the counter. I don\u2019t say that it is more convenient than online visa, but it is still possible with additional USD 10 charge. Also, it might keep you waiting until the process is completed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>My opinion is to get your visa online before your departure so that your exit process from the Bandaranayake International Airport in Colombo will be trouble free and much faster.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Sri Lankan government reviews visa fees on regular basis, so please be alert.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Tourist Visa Conditions;-<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Must have a valid return ticket.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Must have sufficient funds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Should not engage in any employment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Once the visa processing is completed, fee is not refundable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Completing the online application is simple.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Tips when you complete your visa application online.<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure your passport number is correctly entered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Your nationality must be entered correctly and be matched with your passport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Your Date of Birth must match with your passport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovering the wonders of Sri Lanka begins with the key to its vibrant landscapes and rich culture \u2013 the VISA.
