Do UAE residents need a visa for Sri Lanka?

Since 2012, travelers who want to enter Sri Lanka for a short-term visit can take advantage of the Sri Lanka e-Visa. This type of online visa allows visitors to visit Sri Lanka for purposes such as tourism, business, or transit. The visa application process is simple and just takes the applicants a few minutes to complete.
