A Guide on Sri Lankan Visa Application for US Citizens

A Sri Lanka visa for US citizens is required. So, US citizens who want to enter Sri Lanka must apply for a visa. Instead of visiting the embassy to get a visa, US citizens are strongly encouraged to apply for a Sri Lanka e visa online. A Sri Lanka e-visa is only granted to those who visit Sri Lanka for such purposes as tourism, short-term business, or transit.

If you wish to visit the country for other reasons, including employment, education, or medical treatment, please get in touch with the Sri Lanka Embassy in USA or the consulate for further details.
