Sri Lanka Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)

What is an ETA?

ETA is an official authorization for a Short Visit to Sri Lanka and is issued electronically. The ETA is introduced with the intention of providing an efficient, reliable and simplified service to those who visit Sri Lanka. ETA holders will be issued a 30 day Short Visit visa at the port of entry in Sri Lanka. The ETA will be effective from 1st of January 2012.

The ETA is issued through an on-line system. No passport copies, documents or photographs are required. There is no requirement to endorse the ETA on the passport

On the basis of reciprocity, citizens of The Republic of Singapore and The Republic of Maldives are exempt from the requirement of obtaining ETA to visit Sri Lanka

The ETA is initially limited to 30 days validity from the date of arrival although it may be extended for up to six (06) months.
