Need a tourist visa extension. Should we finish everything online first or just show up in person at Battaramulla. Looking for the practical order of steps, not rumor fee numbers.

Start on the official Department of Immigration site and complete what the portal asks before you travel to Battaramulla. Bring the printed trail and passport originals.

Go early on a weekday. Midday queues punish anyone who skipped the online prep.

Do not trust chat-group fee screenshots. Follow the official instructions only and keep card plus a little cash for incidentals.
