From form to authority decision
How a Sri Lanka eVisa application moves forward
Our role is to help prepare and transmit the application, review the documents you provide, and keep you updated. Sri Lankan authorities assess the case and make the final decision.
The database records a window of 3 business hours to 5 business days. Treat it as operational guidance, not a promised authority decision time.
Four working stages
What you do, what we do, and who decides

Timing
Allow time for corrections and authority checks

Apply well before travel and avoid non-refundable arrangements that depend on approval.
