Sri Lanka Visa for Finnish citizens

When it comes to holidays, Finnish citizens choose Sri Lanka because on a cultural level they have similarities in their behavior, for example, in both cultures, they greatly value space for silence, meditation, and self-reflection.

However, Sri Lanka has spaces entirely dedicated to the renewal of both mind and body, in conjunction with Ayurvedic medicine, which is highly recommended to Finnish citizens for spiritual and physical purification in an environment that preserves more than 5,000 years of practice as far as traditional medicine is concerned.

It is important to note that Finnish citizens must comply with certain requirements for entry into Sri Lanka before planning to visit the country, which our experienced consultants will explain in depth below.

Documentation required for Finnish citizens when traveling to Sri Lanka

The documentation required by a Finnish citizen to travel to Sri Lanka depends entirely on the number of days you wish to stay in the country and the reason for your trip. It is divided as follows:

• Travel to Sri Lanka for less than 30 days: requires the Finnish citizen to have a passport valid for at least six months, a credit card valid for internet payments, and an eTA to Sri Lanka, or better known as an electronic travel authorization to Sri Lanka. It is important to note, the purpose of the travel to Sri Lanka is either for pleasure or business.
• Trips to Sri Lanka lasting more than 30 days require a valid passport and a visa from the relevant government agency in your country. Generally, the reason for this trip is for permanent work-related stays in Sri Lanka or to move to Sri Lanka for a change of lifestyle.
