Madagascar eVisa Guide for Sri Lanka Passport Holders

Key Preparation Steps

Before applying, ensure your Sri Lanka passport has at least six months of validity remaining, prepare a digital scan of your identification page and a recent photograph, and have your arrival and departure flight details confirmed.

Visa Requirement for Sri Lanka

Yes, all Sri Lanka passport holders require an approved digital visa before travelling to Madagascar. The good news is that the entire process can be handled online without visiting any consulate or embassy. We recommend using our eligibility checker before arranging flights or accommodation.

• eVisa must be approved before boarding.
• Travel with the same passport used to apply.
• Apply fully online from anywhere in Sri Lanka.
• Print and carry your approval email document.
• Avoid non-refundable bookings until visa is confirmed.

Planning tip: Submit your application at least one week before departure to allow sufficient processing time.

Understanding Your eVisa

Avoid Common Mistakes

Most failed applications result from preventable mistakes. Double-check that your passport number, full name, and date of birth are entered exactly as they appear in your travel document. Upload only sharp, high-resolution scans and review every field before hitting submit.

Stay Options

Madagascar offers three permit durations tailored to different trip lengths. Pick the option that best matches your travel plans. All permits are for tourism and allow a single entry only.

Track Your Application

After submitting, your application enters a review queue. You can check its current status at any point by entering your reference number and passport details on the tracking page. You will receive a notification once a decision has been made.

Required Documents

Gather the following items before you begin filling out the form.

• Sri Lanka Passport: valid for a minimum of six months beyond your planned arrival date in Madagascar.
• Passport Bio Page Scan: a clear, colour scan of the page containing your photo and personal information.
• Digital Photograph: a passport-style image taken recently against a white or neutral background.
• Flight Itinerary: a copy of your booked or confirmed round-trip flight schedule.
• Accommodation Booking: proof of lodging arrangements for the entire duration of your visit.

Remaining in the country beyond your authorised dates may lead to penalties, fines, or complications with future visa applications.
