Visa requirements for Sri Lankan citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Sri Lanka. As of 1 January 2018, Sri Lankan citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 51 countries and territories, ranking the Sri Lankan passport 93rd in terms of travel freedom (tied with Bangladeshi and Iranian passports) according to the Henley Passport Index. Although Sri Lanka is a middle income country, successive Sri Lankan governments have made little or no efforts to improve the standing of the passport. Considering the extent of the Sri Lankan diaspora, a passport with wider access to the world could contribute to a more competitive and future ready society.
