Understanding Visa Extension for Sri Lanka

A Sri Lanka visa extension allows travelers to extend their stay beyond the initial period granted by their visa. Whether you're on a tourist, business, or residence visa, extending your visa requires a specific process that must be followed to avoid overstaying penalties.

Eligibility Criteria for Sri Lanka Visa

Before considering a visa extension, it’s important to understand the overall eligibility criteria for obtaining a Sri Lanka visa:

• Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Sri Lanka.
• Purpose of Visit: You must clearly state the purpose of your visit, whether it’s for tourism, business, work, or residence. Each visa type has specific documentation requirements.
• Financial Stability: You should provide proof of sufficient funds to support your stay in Sri Lanka.
• Accommodation Details: Confirmed accommodation bookings or a letter of invitation if staying with friends or family.
• Return or Onward Ticket: Proof of a return or onward journey is required to show your intent to leave the country after your stay.
• No Criminal Record: You must not have any criminal record or be involved in any activities that could jeopardize your eligibility for a visa.

Once you meet these criteria and are granted a visa, you may consider extending it if needed.

Visa Extension Process

• Application Submission: Submit your visa extension application either online through the Department of Immigration and Emigration's website or in person at their office in Colombo.
• Required Documents: Prepare the necessary documents, including a completed application form, passport, current visa, and proof of sufficient funds.
• Fee Payment: Pay the applicable visa extension fee. The fee varies depending on the type of visa and the extension duration.
