A non-biometric Sri Lankan passport

Visa requirements for Sri Lankan citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Sri Lanka. As of 02 July 2019, Sri Lankan citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 42 countries and territories, ranking the Sri Lankan passport 99th in terms of travel freedom (tied with passports from Congo (Dem. Rep.), Ethoipia and South Sudan) according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]

Although Sri Lanka is a middle income country, successive Sri Lankan governments have made little or no efforts to improve the standing of the passport.[2]As of January 2020, the Sri Lankan passport is ranked in the bottom 10% of Henley's Annual Passport Rankings.[3] Considering the extent of the Sri Lankan diaspora, a passport with wider access to the world could contribute to a more competitive and future ready society.[4] Citizens in neighbouring Maldives can travel visa-free to 80 countries, double that of Sri Lanka. Indians can travel visa free to 52 countries. In South Asia, only Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan have a lower ranking on the visa index than Sri Lanka.[5]

Sri Lanka shares limited connectivity in terms of people to people and business contacts with the ASEAN, a region that it has shared significant historical and cultural relations with. Within the SAARC region, the Sri Lankan state has made little efforts to encourage religious and spiritual tourism with countries such as Nepal and Bhutan.[6] Currently, for journeys between SAARC countries, passengers need to transit via Dubai or Qatar.[7]

The policy of the Sri Lankan state with regards to negotiating visa free travel for Sri Lankan citizens continues to remain poorly organised despite numerous pleas made by individuals and civil society groups.[8] What successive Sri Lankan administrations have done is to negotiate visa free travel for Diplomatic and Official Passport holders to numerous countries. Effectively developing a two tiered system that benefits the political classes over ordinary citizens.[9]

Passport validity

Many countries require passport validity of no less than 6 months and one or two blank pages.[273]

Limitations on passport use

Visitors holding an Israeli passport or any passports showing evidence of travelling to Israel are not allowed to enter some countries due to the Arab League boycott of Israel, some Arab League countries refuse entry to travelers whose passport shows evidence of entry into Israel or hold an unused Israeli visa.

Criminal record

Some countries (for example, Canada and the United States[274]) routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have a criminal record.

Blank passport pages

Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages in the passport being presented, generally one or two pages.[275] Endorsement pages, which often appear after the visa pages, are not counted as being available.

Persona Non Grata

The government of a country can declare a diplomat persona non grata, banning their entry into that country. In non-diplomatic use, the authorities of a country may also declare a foreigner persona non grata permanently or temporarily, usually because of unlawful activity. Attempts to enter the Gaza strip by sea may attract a 10-year ban on entering Israel.[276]

Fingerprinting

Several countries including Afghanistan, Argentina, Cambodia, China (applies age between 14-70), Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States demand all passengers to be fingerprinted on arrival.[277][278][279][280][281][282][283]

Additionally, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar conduct iris scanning on arrival and on visitors that need to apply for a UAE visa.[284][285]
