When do you need a Sri Lanka eVisa renewal?

If you wish to extend your stay, an extension to your Srilanka eVisa should be applied. An extension may or may not be granted depending upon the purpose of your stay and whether the Department of Immigration is convinced that the applicant does intend to return to his/her country after the stay in Sri Lanka. We strongly advise applicants to return to their country of residence well before the expiry date to avoid the penalties and inconvenience to apply for a fresh visa. Overstaying your visa is a breach of visa conditions that may lead to refusal of the extension, detention and deportation from Sri Lanka.

In the case of not getting an extension on your Srilanka eVisa, you can go ahead and systematically re-apply for a fresh Sri Lanka visa. This means filling out the entire application process again and also paying the visa processing fee.
