eSIM for Colombo Airport (CMB)

Jambo! Sri Lanka is tuk-tuks, tea hills and train rides, all easier with data. Install a JamboSim Sri Lanka eSIM before you fly and land at Bandaranaike already online.

Getting connected at CMB

Skip the SIM counter queue after a long flight — an eSIM is already active when you land and covers your ride south or east.

Getting into the city

Colombo is roughly 45 to 60 minutes away via the expressway; Negombo beach is only 20 minutes.

Good to know

CMB uses Terminal 1 while Terminal 2 is being built. Local time is UTC+5:30.
