Filipino visa policy for Sri Lankan citizens

Sri Lanka citizens need a visa to visit the Philippines for tourism or business purposes. The Philippines does not offer visa-free entry for Sri Lanka passport holders, so a visa must be obtained in advance through a Philippine Embassy or Consulate before departure. In addition to holding a valid visa, Sri Lanka citizens must complete the mandatory Philippines eTravel registration within 72 hours before arrival.

iVisa offers one entry document for Sri Lanka travelers:

  • Philippines eTravel Registration: A mandatory digital arrival form that Sri Lanka citizens must submit online before traveling. It is not a visa, but it is required for entry alongside an approved embassy-issued visa. After submission, travelers receive a QR code required for airline check-in and immigration clearance.

    General Philippines entry requirements for Sri Lanka travelers are:

  • A Sri Lanka passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
  • Approved Philippines visa issued by an embassy or consulate
  • Approved Philippines eTravel QR code
  • Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (if requested)
