When do I need a visa for Sri Lanka?

Swedish passport holders cannot travel visa-free to Sri Lanka. How long you are allowed to stay depends on the type of ETA or visa granted. For tourist trips, the most common length of stay is up to 30 days with the possibility of extension after approval from local authorities. The entry permit is valid for tourism, certain business visits and transit depending on the visa category. The final decision on entry is always made by the immigration authorities at the border.
