Yacht clearance
in Galle
Fast, transparent, and met at the dock. The mandatory part of arriving in Sri Lanka, made the easy part.
What clearance includes
Clearance package
One transparent fee. What you see is what you pay — no starting-high, no negotiation. Additional port dues shown separately at cost.
What we'll need from you
Have these ready before arrival to clear in fast:
Vessel registration
Crew list
Passport copies (all crew)
NIL list / stores list
Medical clearance / health docs
Visa required before arrival — the visa application is the owner's responsibility and must be completed online before you arrive in Sri Lanka. Apply at eta.gov.lk →
How arrival works
Pre-arrival
Appoint by email or booking. Send documents ahead so we can start the paperwork before you arrive.
Call on VHF 16
Hail Port Control at approximately 1.5NM off for entry permission. We'll be monitoring.
We meet your boat
We're on the dock to walk you through all formalities. You won't be doing it alone.
Cleared
Typically within a few hours. Gate passes issued. You're free to go ashore.
Staying a while?
Add an optional guided road trip inland — entirely separate from clearance.
