The authorities have suspended the issue of eVisas until further notice. If you are not eligible for the visa waiver (see below for nationalities concerned*), please apply for one on arrival in Sri Lanka.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\nIn April 2024, the Sri Lankan government replaced its electronic travel authorisation (ETA)<\/strong> by a e-Visa<\/strong> to visit the country for tourism, business or a stopover. It allows multiple entries into the country up to 90 days<\/strong> and valid for up to 10 years. Most countries are eligible for this online application. Children under 12, previously exempt from consular fees, must now pay as an adult.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
