Good news for Indians planning a trip to Sri Lanka as the government has announced visa-free access for citizens from 35 countries, including India, the UK, and the US, starting from October 1, 2024. Minister of Tourism Harin Fernando confirmed the visa-free entry for a six-month period. This decision came after the suspension of the e-visa portal by IVS-GBS and VFS Global following a Supreme Court interim order on August 2. Until October 1, Indians can still choose the visa-on-arrival option after the free visa extension ended on May 31, 2024. The current visa fee for Indians is $50 (Rs 4,197 approximately).
