Apply for a Sri Lanka eVisa online
We help you prepare and submit a Sri Lanka eVisa application online. Review your information, provide the required documents, receive application updates, and get the authority’s decision by email.
The official ETA sample acknowledgment describes a response within 48 hours after submission. This is not an approval deadline; referrals and additional checks can take longer. Official sample notice.
We do not process visa applications directly on behalf of any government authority.

Keep the passport used for the application valid and available throughout the trip. Border officers may ask for onward travel, accommodation, or other supporting details.
Prepare readable records
Documents should support the selected purpose
Begin with a clear passport biodata page and current travel details. Business, transit, or other cases can require purpose-specific supporting files. If a document is unclear, provide a corrected version before transmission.
