Step-by-Step Application Process

Check eligible entry points

Visa-on-arrival is normally limited to international airports and a few land borders in Sri Lanka; verify your specific entry point qualifies before booking flights.

Bring the required cash and documents

Most VoA counters accept USD or EUR cash only and reject cards for the visa fee. Carry exact small denominations, a passport photo and your printed return itinerary.

Apply at the visa counter on arrival

Hand in your passport, photo, completed arrival card and fee at the dedicated visa-on-arrival desk before joining the regular immigration queue. Processing is normally 15–30 minutes.

Required Documents

—Passport from Macao valid at least 6 months beyond entry
—Visa-on-arrival fee in USD or EUR cash (small denominations)
—One recent passport-style colour photo
—Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
—Hotel reservation or invitation letter from a host
—Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of stay
—Completed arrival/landing card (handed out on the plane)

Important Tips

•Carry the exact fee in small bills — counters rarely give change in the visa currency.
•Pre-fill the arrival card on the plane to avoid queueing twice at the counter.
•Check the maximum stay granted at the border; extensions usually require leaving and re-entering.
•Some Sri Lanka airports have an electronic VoA pre-form online — completing it shaves 10+ minutes off the queue.

Easiest Way to Get It

Pre-fill any online arrival form, carry the visa fee in clean USD bills and a passport photo, and use the visa-on-arrival lane straight off the plane.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, the 'Teardrop of India', is a tropical paradise where ancient Buddhist ruins, mist-shrouded tea plantations, and golden sandy beaches coexist in a compact area. This island nation boasts a history of over 2,500 years and is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the wild elephant safaris of Udawalawe and the colonial charm of Galle Fort to the spiritual heights of Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka offers a sensory journey filled with spice-rich cuisine, legendary hospitality, and unparalleled natural beauty.

Colombo

The vibrant commercial capital, a fusion of colonial-era buildings, modern skyscrapers, and bustling street markets like Pettah.

Kandy

The hill capital and spiritual heart, home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth and surrounded by lush mountain scenery.

Safety & Scams

Generally safe for travelers, but exercise normal caution in crowded areas; be aware of petty scams in tourist hubs; avoid public demonstrations; tap water is not safe to drink—stick to bottled or boiled water; respect local religious customs, especially in temples.

Getting Around

Trains offer some of the most scenic journeys in the world (especially the Kandy to Ella route); Tuk-tuks are common for short distances; private drivers are popular for multi-city tours; PickMe is the local ride-sharing app.

Cultural Etiquette

Dress modestly when visiting temples (shoulders and knees covered); remove shoes and hats before entering sacred spaces; never pose for photos with your back to a Buddha statue; use your right hand for eating and shaking hands.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital connectivity is good in urban areas and tourist towns; 4G is widely available via Dialog and Mobitel; speeds are generally reliable; most guest houses and cafes provide free Wi-Fi.
