Application for Sri Lanka visa!

Yes, absolutely. Green Apple Travel & Tourism handles the entire process for you from Dubai. You can email us your documents, and we'll submit your application to the Sri Lanka visa processing centre without requiring you to visit in person. We also offer free pickup and delivery of your passport throughout Dubai, making the process completely hassle-free while you continue with your work and daily life.

You'll need a valid passport with at least six months validity, a completed visa application form, one passport-sized photograph (4x6 cm), proof of accommodation in Sri Lanka, a return flight ticket or itinerary, and proof of financial means such as bank statements or salary certificate. If you're employed in the UAE, your employment letter and salary certificate from your sponsor are typically sufficient to demonstrate financial capability. Just email these documents to us in soft copy format, and we'll handle the verification and submission process.

Standard processing typically takes 5–7 working days from the date of submission to the visa centre in Dubai. However, if you need it urgently, Sri Lanka offers an expedited option with a 1–2 working day turnaround for an additional fee. We'll advise you on the best option based on your travel dates when you contact us, and you can reach out via WhatsApp for real-time updates on your application status.

The standard Sri Lanka visa starts from AED 600 through our services, which includes our processing fee and the visa fee. There are no hidden charges—we're transparent about all costs upfront. If you opt for expedited processing or multiple-entry visas, the cost will be higher, but we'll provide you with a clear quotation before proceeding with your application.

Yes, Sri Lanka offers both single-entry and multiple-entry visas. A single-entry visa allows you one trip, while a multiple-entry visa permits several visits during the validity period, making it ideal if you plan to travel to Sri Lanka multiple times. The multiple-entry option costs more than the standard AED 600 package, and we can provide you with the exact pricing once you specify your requirement via email or WhatsApp.

Visa on arrival is available at Colombo airport and costs approximately USD 35–40, but it's only single-entry and valid for 30 days. Applying from Dubai via Green Apple gives you more flexibility with multiple-entry options and longer validity periods, often at a more convenient price point when you factor in peace of mind and faster processing. Additionally, getting your visa before travel means you won't face queue lines or delays at the airport, which is especially valuable during peak travel seasons.

Yes, you don't need to be present at all. You can authorize Green Apple Travel & Tourism to handle your entire application, and we'll submit on your behalf to the visa centre without requiring your physical presence. Simply email us your documents, provide written authorization, and we'll manage everything from submission to collecting your stamped passport—we even offer free delivery back to your location in Dubai.

Rejections are rare when applications are properly prepared, and we ensure all documents meet Sri Lankan requirements before submission. If your application is rejected, we'll provide you with the official reason and advise you on whether reapplication is possible or if additional documentation is needed. Many rejections can be addressed by strengthening your financial proof or accommodation details, and we'll guide you through the appeal or reapplication process at no extra consultation fee.

Sri Lanka's e-visa is an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) processed online and stamped electronically in your passport—it's faster, typically processed in 1–2 days, and costs less. The traditional sticker visa is physically stamped in your passport and takes 5–7 days but offers multiple-entry options that the e-visa doesn't always provide. Green Apple can help you determine which is best based on your travel plans, passport type, and timeline, so WhatsApp us your requirements for personalized advice.

The core requirements are the same for both UAE nationals and expats, but documentation differs slightly. Expats need an employment letter, salary certificate, and visa copy from their sponsor, while UAE nationals typically provide an income certificate or business registration if self-employed. Both groups need a valid passport, proof of accommodation, and flight itinerary, and Green Apple's team will clarify exactly which documents apply to your situation when you reach out via email or WhatsApp with your residency status.
