Short answer
Prepare a separate traveler record for every child or infant included in the trip. Do not assume that a parent's authorization automatically covers a child. The name, passport, date of birth, nationality, and travel details entered for the child must match the child's own travel document.
This private assistance service does not publish an age-based fee exemption because no such Sri Lanka product override is recorded in the pricing database used by the application. Review the live price summary before payment.
What to prepare
- The child's valid passport and a clear image of its identity page
- The child's details exactly as printed in the passport
- Parent or guardian contact information
- Travel and accommodation information requested by the form
- Any consent or custody documents relevant to the journey
- Supporting records requested for the selected travel purpose
Requirements can depend on the child's circumstances and the adults traveling with them. If a child will travel with one parent, another relative, a school group, or without a parent, confirm current consent and border-document rules with the appropriate authorities before departure.
Selecting the visa product
Choose the product based on the trip rather than the applicant's age:
| Product | Purpose | Government fee per applicant | Service fee per applicant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist e-Visa/ETA | Holiday or family visit | US$80.00 | US$59.99 |
| Business e-Visa/ETA | Permitted business activity | US$85.00 | US$59.99 |
| Transit e-Visa/ETA | Continuing to another destination | US$30.00 | US$59.99 |
The database currently contains no nationality-specific Sri Lanka fee row and no child-price override for these products. A total should therefore be checked for every traveler shown in the application.
Review the child's record carefully
Small differences matter. Check the spelling and order of names, passport number, date of birth, passport expiry, and nationality. Avoid substituting a parent's email or passport details in fields that ask specifically about the child.
If several children are included, review each traveler individually rather than assuming copied data is correct. A clear final review is usually faster than correcting a repeated error later.
Processing and travel
The database records 3 business hours to 5 business days for each available Sri Lanka product. This is a processing range, not a decision promise. Additional checks, incomplete documents, payment review, or authority requests can take longer.
Carry the child's passport, issued authorization, and any relevant consent or custody documents for travel. Immigration and border authorities make the final entry decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can a child be included on a parent's authorization?
Do not rely on that assumption. Create and review a separate traveler record for the child using the child's passport.
Is the government fee automatically free for children under 12?
This service's current database does not record an age-based exemption. Use the displayed checkout summary and contact support before paying if the traveler details produce an unexpected result.
Does a baby need passport details?
Use the travel document the baby will present at the border. If the child does not yet have the required document, resolve that before submitting an application.
Who decides whether the child may enter Sri Lanka?
Sri Lankan authorities and border officers retain that decision. Payment to this private service does not guarantee an authorization or entry.
