Why this verdict

Moldovan citizens are encoded from Sri Lanka's official destination source set (Sri Lanka tourist ETA route). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, tourism / short visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, long-term stay, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, route-specific waivers, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay Visa required

The short-visitor rule encoded here does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
Child under 12 years ETA required

Up to 30 days. Sri Lanka's ETA source set has historically treated children under 12 separately for tourist ETA fees. Confirm the current fee and application rule at travel time.
