Why this verdict

Ukrainian citizens' entry guidance is based on Sri Lanka's official destination source set (Sri Lanka tourist ETA route). This guidance 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 listed here does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
Child under 12 years ETA required
