Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sri Lanka ETA free for Indians?
Yes, currently the government fee is waived for Indian citizens under a SAARC exemption, though the ETA remains mandatory and processing/service charges may still apply.
How long can I stay in Sri Lanka on the ETA?
The initial stay is 30 days, extendable up to 90 days (and further in some cases) at the Department of Immigration.
What do I need to extend my Sri Lanka ETA beyond 30 days?
Per Sri Lanka's Department of Immigration, extending your stay requires a confirmed return air ticket, proof of accommodation, a recent photograph and a valid passport, submitted online or at the Immigration Head Office before your current 30-day period ends.
Do children need their own Sri Lanka ETA extension?
Yes. Per the Department of Immigration, children under 12 travelling on a parent's ETA must obtain their own extension, with the applicable fee, if the family's stay in Sri Lanka exceeds 30 days from the date of arrival.
Should I pay for my Sri Lanka ETA at the airport?
No. Sri Lanka's Department of Immigration explicitly warns travellers to pay only through the official ETA website and avoid repayment at the port of entry — unofficial payment requests on arrival are a common scam, not a genuine government fee.
