Entry authorization for 24h in Sri Lanka (transit)

hi there I’m heading to Sri Lanka for a month from January 6th to February 3rd, then I’ve got a flight to the Maldives from February 3rd to 15th, and... I’m coming back to Sri Lanka for one night from the 15th to the 16th to catch my flight back to France. Because my flight ticket is from January 6th to February 16th... I’m wondering about my travel authorization. Will I get a transit authorization for one day to board my flight? Thanks for shedding some light on this!

Hi Marie-Claude,

The 2-day transit visa is currently free 😊

However, you’ll still need to complete your ETA for the first part of your stay, at 50 €: https://www.tongsetsrilanka.com/mode-demploi-pour-eta-au-sri-lanka

Have a great trip! Caroline

Thanks a lot Caroline! I’ll do my ETA online and I’ll go explain my return transit... Best regards,
