Lithuania to Sri Lanka
Do I need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Lithuanian citizens do not need a visa, but they must hold an approved electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before departure. The ETA is applied for online and is an authorisation, not a visa. This permission does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on an ordinary Lithuanian passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Sri Lanka?
No vaccinations are mandatory for entry to Sri Lanka. The National Public Health Centre publishes recommendations for vaccinations to consider when travelling to Asian countries; consult its guidance before you travel.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The permitted length of stay for this ETA is not stated here. Extensions and overstay penalties are not described in the provided sources.
Can children travel on this route?
Children follow the same document rules as adults: a valid Lithuanian passport is required and no additional parental‑consent or notarised documents are required for travellers under 18.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended for health, personal property and travel documents, but it is not a condition of entry for Lithuanian travellers on this route.
Where do I get the visa?
The ETA is applied for online through the official Sri Lankan e‑authorisation portal linked on this page; when approved you hold an ETA as your travel permission. The Sri Lankan embassy pages linked here are for consular help only and are not an application route.
Frequently asked questions

How long must my passport be valid?
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Sri Lanka.
Do I need any vaccines to enter Sri Lanka?
No vaccinations are mandatory for entry. Additional vaccination recommendations are given by the National Public Health Centre’s travel‑vaccination guidance; check those recommendations before you travel.
Do I have to buy travel insurance to get in?
Travel insurance is recommended but it is not a condition of entry for Lithuanian travellers on this route.
Will I need to prove I have enough money for my trip?
You will not be asked to show proof of funds such as cash or bank statements when you arrive on this route.
Do I have to complete an arrival card or register when I arrive?
There is no arrival registration or entry card required for travellers on this route.
What documents do children need?
Minors travel on the same rules as adults: a valid Lithuanian passport is required and no additional parental‑consent or notarised documents are required for those under 18.
Will I get a sticker or stamp in my passport when I apply?
The ETA is an electronic authorisation applied for online; when approved you hold an ETA as your travel permission. There is no in‑person application for the ETA at an embassy or consulate.
What if my passport is damaged or nearly full?
If your passport is damaged or otherwise unacceptable, you risk being refused boarding or entry. Travelling on a valid ordinary Lithuanian passport avoids this problem.
Can I get the ETA from a Sri Lankan or Lithuanian embassy?
The Sri Lankan embassy accredited to Lithuania is based in Stockholm (embassy chancery address listed) and the Lithuanian embassy accredited to Sri Lanka is in New Delhi. Those embassy sites are for consular assistance, not for applying for the ETA.
What will immigration or the airline actually check at the airport?
You may be asked at check‑in or on arrival to show the passport and the approved ETA. Have the passport and ETA accessible in case an airline or border official requests them.
Where can I find which vaccines are recommended?
The National Public Health Centre publishes recommended vaccines for travel to Asian destinations; consult its guidance for the names of recommended vaccinations before you travel.
