23 Jun, 2025
Australians have been advised to maintain a high degree of caution when visiting Sri Lanka.
In an updated travel advise the Australian Government said that they reviewed the travel advice for Sri Lanka and continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution.
“Exercise a high degree of caution in Sri Lanka due to the threat of public demonstrations and security risks,” the travel advise said.
The advise also says to enter Sri Lanka, Australians will require a visa in the form of an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
“You should do this before you travel, as there are limited facilities to obtain an ETA on arrival at Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport,” the travel advise said.
The travel advise says at level 2, there are more or higher risks than what you would typically find in a large Australian city.
