Do you need a Visa for Sri Lanka?
Since August 2024, Sri Lanka requires that an ETA be obtained before your departure.
This ETA will be valid for tourist or business trips.
It will also be necessary to obtain an electronic arrival card (Arrival Card) which can only be requested within 7 days before actual entry into Sri Lanka (eservices.immigration.gov.lk) or take the “ETA” package + Arrival card” when ordering on our website (we will send it to you before departure by e-mail).
January 2025 NB: the online arrival card is temporarily suspended until further notice. You can complete these formalities upon arrival at the airport.
Visa Travel International, an agency approved by the Sri Lankan Consulate, can assist you in obtaining this ETA and you will find on this page all the information necessary for this process.
Note that the Visa is no longer obtained on arrival (since September 2024).
