A Sri Lanka Tourist Visa allows foreign nationals to enter Sri Lanka for tourism, leisure, or to visit family and friends for a short duration. It is typically issued as an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for a stay of up to 30 days, with the possibility of extension. Applicants must hold a valid passport, return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds for their stay. The visa is strictly for tourism purposes and does not permit employment or long-term residence in Sri Lanka.
