Sri Lanka requires your passport to stay valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date.
Airlines routinely deny boarding at check-in if your passport doesn't meet the destination's stated validity rule, even before you reach immigration — it's worth checking well before you book, not just before you fly.
No — passport validity and visa requirements are separate checks. Applies alongside the separate electronic travel authorization requirement.
If your passport's expiry date is close to the cutoff this checker calculates, renew before booking — passport offices often take longer than travelers expect, especially in peak season.
