"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."
"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. You'll also need to be above 18 years old to apply, and you will need to prove you hit the minimum salary requirement while exclusively working for clients outside of Sri Lanka."
"Applications are done through the Department of Immigration and Emigration website, where you'll find all of the submission requirements. Sri Lanka's digital nomad visa is valid for one year, and costs €425 per person. It is renewable annually. Aside from not working for any companies within Sri Lanka, visa holders are also obligated to "refrain from any political or disruptive activities". Known as the 'pearl of the Indian Ocean', Sri Lanka draws in around 2.3 million international tourists each year."
Sri Lanka launched a digital nomad visa in February 2026. Eligibility requires applicants to be over 18 and to earn at least €1,700 (US$2,000) per month, with an additional €425 (US$500) per extra child beyond two. Applicants must prove income from clients outside Sri Lanka and must not work for local companies. Applications are submitted via the Department of Immigration and Emigration website. The visa is valid for one year, costs €425 per person, and is renewable annually. Visa holders must refrain from political or disruptive activities. Sri Lanka attracts tourists with beaches, wildlife, heritage sites and iconic train routes.
