Most travelers visiting Sri Lanka for tourism purposes can obtain an ETA online orget a visa on arrival. The process for obtaining a Sri Lanka ETA can fully be done online. The ETA allows for a short stay, typically up to 30 days.

While casual wear is generally acceptable, it’s advisable to cover your shoulders and knees when entering temples or other sacred places.
Yes, you can. If you have a ‘dual band’ and unlocked phone, you can choose a local SIM and top-up cards (recharge cards) from several mobile operators, including Dialog, Mobitel, Etisalat, Hutch, and Airtel. Dialog has a counter at Katunayake Airport where you can purchase a connection for Rs. 1500/=.
Credit cards, especially Visa and MasterCard, are widely accepted even in small towns. While Amex is used to a lesser extent, using your internationally valid Credit Card is a convenient option whenever possible.
ATMs are widely available in most cities, allowing you to withdraw cash. However, since different banks accept different cards, we recommend confirming your card’s validity for use in Sri Lanka by contacting your bank.
You can enjoy Ceylon Tea, hailed as the world’s best tea. If you’re a coffee enthusiast, local coffee might suit your taste, albeit being a bit strong. While good espresso is available in Colombo, it may not be as accessible elsewhere.
Sri Lanka also offers its own variety of local beer, and there are two variations of local liquor: Toddy and Arrack. Toddy is a natural drink tapped from palm trees, and fermented and refined Toddy becomes Arrack. Imported beer and foreign liquors are available as well and priced similarly to most Western countries.
While water is generally clean and safe for consumption in Sri Lanka, it is recommended to avoid drinking tap water during your tour. Bottled water is the safer option. This precaution is suggested to allow your body sufficient time to adapt to any potential differences in the water source.
Before visiting Sri Lanka or any other foreign country, it’s important to take certain medical precautions to ensure a safe and healthy trip. Consulting a doctor to ensure routine vaccinations, or consideing additional vaccines based on your travel plans is advisable.

When visiting Sri Lanka, it is advisable to use a reliable mosquito repellent to protect yourself. The World Health Organization has officially recognized Sri Lanka as a malaria-free country. Nevertheless, Dengue fever can be a concern. Luckily avoiding mosquito bites is not that difficult.
Repellents containing DEET have demonstrated the highest effectiveness. Accommodations are typically equipped with air conditioning, sometimes mosquito nets and mosquito protection plugs to minimize the risk of mosquito bites, particularly during the night.
There are government hospitals all over the country. Sri Lankan doctors are very competent. Many of them have acquired overseas training. They also speak English. Having a travel health insurance is advisable,
