Before you board
Check your passport's expiry date. We don't hold Sri Lanka's own validity rule. Many countries ask for six months beyond your stay, some for three, some only for the length of your trip — and airlines refuse boarding on it. See the six-month passport rule, then confirm with the official sources.
