Cheapest Month to Travel
Good to Know
Visa
UK nationals must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Sri Lanka for tourism purposes. The ETA typically allows stays of up to 30 days and can be extended locally. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Apply through the official Sri Lankan ETA portal. GOV.UK provides the latest guidance on visas and entry requirements.
Vaccinations
No specific vaccinations are required unless travelling from a yellow fever risk country. Routine vaccinations including MMR, DTP, and COVID-19 should be up to date. Additional recommended vaccines include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Rabies for those visiting rural areas. Dengue fever precautions (mosquito protection) are advised. Consult TravelHealthPro’s Sri Lanka guidance for full medical advice.
Currency
The official currency of Colombo and the rest of Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Currency exchange services are available at the airport, banks, hotels, and authorised money changers. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, but cash is advisable for small purchases and local markets. ATMs are widely available across the city.
