"If there's one thing that's here to stay after the COVID-19 pandemic, it's digital nomadism. Who wouldn't want to make the most of their fully remote jobs by working from the beach, or the pool, or just a cafe with an incredible view? While many choose to travel around constantly, others prefer to stick to one destination for several weeks or months - and if you fall into the latter category, there's a new dreamy island country for you to consider: Sri Lanka."
"First discussed in 2021, the digital nomad visa officially launched in February 2026. Who is eligible for Sri Lanka's digital nomad visa? Like many digital nomad visas, applicants must be earning more than a certain amount. In the case of Sri Lanka, your salary needs to be above €1,700 (US$2,000) a month. That requirement stays the same provided you have fewer than two children, but will increase by €425 (US$500) for any additional kids."
The digital nomad visa launched in February 2026. Applicants must be over 18 and earn more than €1,700 (US$2,000) monthly, increasing by €425 (US$500) per additional child beyond two. Income must come exclusively from clients outside Sri Lanka. The visa costs €425 per person, is valid for one year, and is renewable annually. Visa holders must refrain from working for companies within Sri Lanka and from engaging in political or disruptive activities. Applications are submitted through the Department of Immigration and Emigration website. Sri Lanka attracts tourists with beaches, Galle Fort, tea-plantation train routes, and roughly 2.3 million annual international visitors.
