✈️ E-Visa & Travel

Sri Lanka's official electronic travel authorization system for eligible foreign travellers. About Sri Lanka ETA: The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is Sri Lanka's official online entry authorization system, letting eligible nationals apply for and receive approval to enter the country without visiting an embassy in person, typically processed quickly. Key Features: Official Government System: Direct government application channel, avoiding third-party agent markups. Fast Processing: Most straightforward applications are processed within a short timeframe, often the same day. Multiple Entry Types: Offers different ETA categories depending on purpose (tourism, business, transit). Digital Approval Delivery: The approved ETA is linked electronically to your passport, though it's recommended to carry a printed copy. How to Get Started: Visit the official ETA website and select your nationality and travel purpose. Complete the online application form with passport and travel details. Pay the ETA fee through the official payment gateway. Print or save your approval confirmation before travelling, along with your passport. Important Notice: Only use the official ETA government website for applications and payment — third-party sites charging significantly higher fees for the same service are common and should be avoided.
