Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, most visitors need a visa. You can easily apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) online at eta.gov.lk. Visitors from Singapore, Maldives, and Seychelles may be exempt. The tourist ETA differs from a business visa, so ensure you select the correct type.
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination! For the South and West coasts (Galle, Hikkaduwa, Mirissa) and the Hill Country, the best time is December to April. For the East coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay), the best weather is from May to September.
Private car with a driver is the most convenient and flexible option. Trains are famous for their scenic routes, especially the Kandy to Ella line. Tuk-tuks are great for short distances within cities.
We recommend drinking bottled water or filtered water throughout your stay. Most hotels provide complimentary bottled water. Avoid ice in small local eateries if you are unsure of the water source.
The currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). ATMs are widely available in cities. USD, EUR, and GBP are easily exchanged. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and larger restaurants, but cash is king for small shops and tuk-tuks.
