Overview
Sri Lanka uses an Electronic Travel Authorisation for short tourist visits. Terms and fees for Indian nationals have changed several times and should be confirmed close to travel.
Who can use this visa
ETA is for tourism and short visits. Employment or long-stay purposes require a different visa.
- Requirement
Indian passport, valid 6+ months
Passport validity is counted from the date of arrival at the destination.
- Requirement
Genuine tourist purpose
This product covers leisure travel only, not work, study or paid activity.
- Restriction
Previous overstay or refusal needs review
Tell us up front — such cases need a specialist assessment before filing.
- Note
Approval is never guaranteed
The issuing authority decides every application on its own merit.
