Sri Lanka visa requirements for Bangladeshi citizens

Bangladeshi citizens need a travel authorization to enter Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is not visa-free for Bangladeshi passport holders, so approval must be obtained before traveling.

iVisa offers two Sri Lankan entry documents for Bangladeshi travelers:

  • Sri Lanka Tourist ETA: an online travel authorization issued for Bangladeshi citizens visiting Sri Lanka for tourism or leisure. The Tourist ETA usually allows a stay of up to 30 days. Travelers must have a passport valid for at least 6 months, provide basic travel details, and pay the ETA fee.

  • Sri Lanka Business ETA: an online travel authorization issued for Bangladeshi citizens traveling to Sri Lanka for business-related purposes, such as meetings or conferences. The Business ETA also usually allows a stay of up to 30 days.

    General Sri Lankan entry requirements for Bangladeshi travelers are:

  • Bangladeshi passport valid for at least 6 months
  • Approved Sri Lanka Tourist ETA of Business ETA
  • Proof of onward or return travel
  • Evidence of sufficient funds
  • Other supporting documents depending on purpose or situation

Sri Lanka visa FAQs

What Bangladeshi travelers commonly ask about Sri Lanka visas

No, Bangladeshi citizens need an ETA to enter Sri Lanka for tourism or business. The most common method is obtaining an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) online.

The 30-day tourist ETA is processed in 24–72 hours (often within 1–2 working days). With iVisa, Bangladeshi citizens can get their Sri Lankan ETA as fast as 1 day.

With an approved ETA for a visa, Bangladeshi citizens can stay in Sri Lanka for up to 30 days, depending on the authorization granted.

No. Bangladeshi passport holders are not eligible for a visa on arrival and must obtain approval in advance through the embassy's ETA system.

In some cases, short-term stays may be extended by applying to Sri Lanka’s Department of Immigration while in the country, subject to approval.
