How to Book an Appointment?
The Sri Lanka Consulate in India has introduced an innovative "online appointment system." This system aims to organize the visa application systems, quickly process submissions, and documents, and offer efficient consular services. The service is available 24/7, and with helpful features like automatic queuing and user-friendly steps for booking an appointment, it has turned out to be an effective system.

Anyone can use this system to book an appointment with the Sri Lanka Consulate in India. There are no charges applied for using this service. An online appointment system's benefit is that applicants can easily book appointments for multiple consular services, change the date or time of visit, or even cancel the appointment conveniently.

The online appointment system currently offers three modes of booking, namely Initial Appointment, Change an Appointment, and Cancel or Delete an appointment.

Visa Services:
The embassy aims to offer superior service quality to applicants who have requested a visa to enter India. The visa centers can facilitate applicants in all sorts of issues, from verification of support documents to submission or collection of documents and understanding the visitors' rules after entering Sri Lanka.
