Mandatory Requirement for Sri Lankan Nationals

All Schengen visa applicants from Sri Lanka must submit proof of travel insurance with at least €30,000 in medical coverage as part of their visa application. Without a valid insurance certificate, your application will be rejected.

Applying at Colombo

Sri Lankan nationals apply through Schengen consulates in Colombo. Italy and France are common destinations. Processing can take 2–4 weeks, so apply early and ensure insurance is purchased before the application date.

Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland are popular Schengen destinations for Sri Lankan travelers. Regardless of your destination, all Schengen visas require the same insurance — €30,000 minimum coverage valid for all 29 member states.
