Sri Lanka visa requirements for Serbia citizens (2026)

Do Serbia citizens need a visa for Sri Lanka?

A quick electronic travel authorization must be approved before you fly.

Note: older open datasets list this route as “Visa on arrival”. We show the newer rule from the official source above.

Serbia passport holders can currently enter 115 destinations visa-free or with a visa on arrival, and 45 more with an online ETA or e-Visa. Sri Lanka admits 193 of 198 passports without a full visa (visa-free, on arrival or ETA).

Documents required for the Sri Lanka ETA

• Passport valid 6+ months (the ETA is linked to this passport)
• Email address and a payment card
• Travel dates and first address
• Sometimes a digital photo or a passport data-page scan

General checklist for this type of entry — not an official list. Requirements vary by purpose and personal circumstances; we confirm the exact list for your case when you apply.

Sri Lanka ETA processing time

ETA: usually within ~24 hours. (per the official source listed below). Apply well before your travel date.

Sri Lanka ETA cost

We have not verified the official government fee for Serbia citizens, so we don’t state one. The official portal shows the current fee before you pay.

With Tripsol: from $60 per traveler, all-in. Total includes government fees where applicable and our service fee.

How to apply for the Sri Lanka ETA

1. Apply online before you book or at least a few days before you fly.
2. Enter passport details exactly as printed — typos are the #1 reason for problems.
3. Pay the fee and wait for approval by email.
4. Travel with the same passport you applied with.

• Buy travel medical insurance that covers your whole stay.
• An eSIM bought before you fly means data as soon as you land — handy for showing bookings at immigration.
