It’s one of the favorite destinations for travelers who are passionate about Asia and yearn to enjoy the perpetual summer of this tropical Eden, with rice fields and beautiful tea plantations that exude a wonderful peace. Sri Lanka, the former Ceylon, returns to the great tourism circuit this October, once the entry restrictions for international tourists that were imposed due to the pandemic have been relaxed.
Thus, fully vaccinated travelers, in addition with a negative PCR test done within 72 hours prior to onboarding, will not be required to keep any quarantine. In addition, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is active again, so that these travelers who have received the two doses of an approved vaccine, with the last dose supplied at least two weeks before their arrival, can request online (www.eta.gov.lk) your entry visa to Sri Lanka. Also children under 12 years of age are exempt from presenting PCR or antigen tests.
Unvaccinated tourists will be required to send additional forms to obtain the ETA. They will also need to prepay for their mandatory PCR tests ($ 40 per test). These visitors will also be able to enjoy an unforgettable vacation in Sri Lanka, respecting the so-called “Tourist Bio-Bubble” during the first 14 days of their stay. This “Bio-Bubble” is quite flexible, allowing you to explore the island, visit a variety of tourist destinations and use the facilities of level 1 hotels.
It’s important to know that all tourists arriving in Sri Lanka – vaccinated or not – must pay a mandatory local COVID-19 insurance. It costs $ 12 and provides coverage of $ 50,000, with an extension of one month. This insurance represents an additional guarantee for the peace of mind of all travelers.
