Short answer
Sri Lanka’s Digital Nomad Visa requires international health insurance that covers medical care in Sri Lanka, listed among the documents all applicants must submit (Source: LK_DNV_IMMIGRATION_2026, Department of Immigration and Emigration; verified 2026-06-13). The official document states no coverage amount, so the engine models two rules: insurance is mandatory, and the policy must cover medical care in Sri Lanka.

How we evaluate
The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Two rules are encoded from the Department of Immigration and Emigration document: insurance is mandatory, and the policy must cover medical care in Sri Lanka. A product is only credited with Sri Lanka coverage when its own documentation states it; the engine does not assume a worldwide or home-country policy is valid there. Products silent about Sri Lanka stay UNKNOWN rather than GREEN, and no coverage amount is encoded because the document states none, following the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
Proof package checklist
- International health insurance whose coverage explicitly includes medical care in Sri Lanka.
- A certificate showing the policy holder, policy number and coverage dates.
- The remaining DNV documents per the Department’s list (income remittance proof, police and medical clearance, recommendation from the Ministry of Digital Economy).
