Worth knowing

  • The ETA processing fee is not refundable and cannot be transferred.
  • Children under 12 of any nationality get a free 30-day tourist ETA.
  • The official ETA site is eta.gov.lk. Agent sites charge more than the government fee for the same ETA.

How long it takes

Apply online before you travel. Applying in advance costs less than the visa on arrival.
