Philippines visa requirements 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)
