Most visitors to Sri Lanka require a tourist visa, which can be obtained online through the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system before travel. The tourist visa is typically valid for 30 days and allows single or multiple entries depending on your travel needs.

The online application process is straightforward and usually takes 1-3 business days for approval. Some nationalities may be eligible for visa-free entry or visa on arrival, but it's best to check current requirements well before your departure date. For the most up-to-date visa information and requirements, use Sherpa's visa checker to ensure you have the correct documentation for your romantic getaway.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for Sri Lanka's tropical climate, including cotton shirts, sundresses, and comfortable walking shoes. Don't forget modest attire for temple visits - cover shoulders and knees with long pants and sleeves. A light raincoat or umbrella is essential during monsoon seasons.

Essential items include high SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable hiking shoes for Sigiriya and Ella, and a daypack for excursions. Pack layers for cooler hill country temperatures and swimwear for beach destinations. Camera equipment is crucial for capturing stunning landscapes and wildlife. Most luxury hotels provide toiletries, but bring any specific personal items you prefer.

Most travelers to Sri Lanka don't require any mandatory vaccinations, but we recommend being up-to-date with routine vaccines like MMR, DPT, and seasonal flu. Consider getting vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B, especially if you'll be trying local street food or staying in rural areas.

Japanese Encephalitis vaccination may be recommended if you're visiting rural areas or staying for extended periods. Typhoid vaccination is also advisable for adventurous food lovers. For the most current health recommendations, consult your healthcare provider and read our comprehensive guide on vaccines to travel to Sri Lanka.

Yes and so delicious! If you see Sri Lankan locals eating it then that’s the best indication that the food is safe. Tip: Eat where the locals eat; the longer the queue the more delicious you can assume the food will be. But as with anything, use caution. If something looks or smells suspect, better to leave it alone. And never drink from the tap! We thought we had to mention this in case the idea ever crosses your mind!
