What is a Sri Lanka Visa?

The Sri Lankan High Commission offers a convenient visa facility through the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). The ETA is an official authorization in the form of an electronic visa issued for short visits to Sri Lanka. It replaces the need to apply for a stamp/sticker visa. All Indian passport holders need to get an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) before boarding their flight out of India to Sri Lanka.

What is a Sri Lanka Visa?

The biggest advantage of an ETA is that travellers can save money and time by applying for the authorization online. You will receive your processed Sri Lanka ETA via email. It is electronically linked to your passport number. There will be no stamp on your passport. All you need is a printout of the ETA in hand and produce it at the Immigration Office on arrival. The visa is valid for up to six (6) months from the date of issue and a visitor can stay for 30 days on each visit. An issued visa is for double entries, which means you can enter Sri Lanka twice within the visa validity.
