Connecting through another country?
This page covers a direct flight to Sri Lanka. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad
INFOYou're travelling to Sri Lanka (LK). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
US travel advisory: Sri Lanka — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)
INFOThe US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Sri Lanka: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-10-09). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
