Why this verdict
Türkiye keeps ordinary Sri Lankan passports in the visa-required bucket for the normal tourist case. The published e-Visa shortcut is only for travellers who already hold certain qualifying Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visas or residence permits.
Conditional rules
- Sri Lankan passport holder with a valid Schengen member state, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit eVisa
Eligible travellers may use Türkiye's official e-Visa route instead of the standard mission-routed visa process. The qualifying third-country visa or residence permit must still be valid on the date of entry, and e-Visas issued by those supporting countries do not count.
