SRI LANKA VISA
Initially, students will enter Sri Lanka on a 30-day Entry Visa, which will be endorsed on their passport by officials from the Sri Lanka Department of Immigration and Emigration upon arrival. During this period, SLIIT will facilitate the conversion of the Entry Visa to a Resident Visa, allowing students to continue their studies. The application process for the Resident Visa will be managed by SLIIT officials in the International Office, ensuring a smooth transition for students. Please refer to guidelines below.
