Sri Lanka allowed free entry to tourists from India including China, Russia, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand with immediate effect. Tourists from these countries can get free visa to visit Sri Lanka. According to the September 2023 data, India ranks first with 30 thousand passengers and 26 percent of the passengers arriving in Sri Lanka, followed by China with eight thousand passengers.
Although visa-free entry allows tourists from selected countries to stay in Sri Lanka for up to 30 days, they must apply for their visa online through the www.srilankaevisa.lk website prior to their arrival. This online application process is designed to ensure a smooth process for visiting tourists while maintaining security checks.
Although many countries have visa-free entry, the Sri Lankan government imposes a $50 fee for visitors entering the country on a 30-day arrival visa. The decision was influenced by the tourism industry’s appeal to the government to limit visa fees to encourage international travel. The move to transfer visa issuance to a private company, which raised the fee to $100, drew criticism for discouraging potential tourists from visiting Sri Lanka.
