Visa Application
Foreign participants who plan to visit Sri Lanka for tourism purposes may be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before travelling to Sri Lanka.
The Tourist ETA allows eligible visitors to travel to Sri Lanka for purposes such as sightseeing, holidays, visiting friends or relatives, medical treatment, and participation in sporting or cultural activities.
Since 25 May 2026, nationals of 40 countries, including China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India, and Spain, are eligible for a 30-day Tourist ETA free of charge. Nationals of other countries may be subject to the applicable ETA processing fee.
All eligible foreign nationals are still required to obtain an ETA before arrival in Sri Lanka, unless specifically exempted under the applicable regulations.
Participants may apply for the Tourist ETA online through the official website of the Department of Immigration and Emigration of Sri Lanka:
