12 months
Sri Lanka launched a Digital Nomad Visa in 2024 — 1-year multi-entry residency for remote workers with income proof (currently ~USD 2,000/mo). The ETA tourist entry (up to 270 days/year cumulative for many passports) remains the default for shorter visits. Verify current income threshold via the official immigration portal before applying.
