Do I need a PCR test to leave Sri Lanka?

As of recent updates, travelers do not require a PCR test to leave Sri Lanka. This adjustment is most likely owing to the better COVID-19 status, which renders PCR tests unnecessary for departure. Instead, travelers should check the entry requirements in the next country's destination and your airline:

What to Do Before Departure

1. Check destination country requirements

Check the entry criteria for the country to which you are traveling. Some nations may still demand a negative PCR test or confirmation of vaccination upon arrival.

2. Check your airline's travel guidelines

Airline Requirements: Some airlines may have certain health and safety requirements, such as PCR testing or vaccination evidence. Prior to travel, confirm with your airline.

3. Transit standards:

Ensure you meet the health standards of the destination country (e.g., PCR test, vaccination evidence, or health declaration paperwork).

For the most up-to-date and accurate information, visit your destination country's immigration authority's official website or contact your airline.
