Need a Sri Lankan Passport? Buy Online Now in Simple Steps!

Today, I’m gonna walk you through my little adventure of getting a Sri Lankan passport, done it all online. It wasn’t as smooth as I thought it would be, but hey, we got there in the end. So, buckle up, and let’s dive into this.

Finding the Right Place to Start

First things first, I had to figure out where to even apply for this thing. I mean, you’d think it’s straightforward, but the internet is a wild place. After a bit of digging, I landed on their official website. It said something about applying online, which sounded pretty convenient.

• Visited the official website – This was my starting point. I had to make sure I was in the right place.

Getting an Appointment

Next up was snagging an appointment. You can’t just waltz in; you need to book a slot. So, there was this link, and I thought, “Cool, this should be easy.” Filled out the form, clicked submit, and waited. And waited. Finally, an email popped up asking me to confirm my appointment. About time!

• Secured an online appointment – Filled in the online form and got a confirmation email. Not instant, but it worked.

Filling Out the Application

With the appointment sorted, I had to tackle the application itself. It had to be in English, which, no problem there. But man, it was detailed. They wanted to know everything but my favorite color. I powered through, double-checked everything, and hit submit.

• Completed the application in English – Took some time, but I got it all filled out and submitted.

The Waiting Game

After submitting the application, it was all about waiting. The website talked about a normal processing time and an urgent one. I went for the normal because, well, I wasn’t in that big of a rush. The fee was around 10,000 of their currency for the normal one, and 20,000 for urgent. I could only imagine those in a hurry.

• Opted for normal processing – Saved some money here since I wasn’t pressed for time.

Checking In and More Waiting

I’m not the most patient person, so I kept checking the website for updates. There’s this section where you can supposedly track your application. It wasn’t the most user-friendly thing, but it gave me something to do while waiting.

• Tracked the application online – The system wasn’t great, but it was there.

Finally, Success!

After what felt like forever, I got the notification that my passport was ready. It was a bit of a process, but I managed to get my Sri Lankan passport without leaving my house. Well, except to pick it up, of course.

• Received notification and picked up the passport – The final step was a relief. Got it done!

So, that’s my story of navigating the Sri Lankan passport application online. It wasn’t a walk in the park, but I hope sharing this helps someone out there. Remember, patience is key, and always double-check those forms!
