Step by step to get eTA for Sri Lanka

Although this is a simple and quick process, I recommend that you request your authorization at least one week before travel.

When we took our permits, it did not take even 24 hours to receive letters of approval. However, it is always good to resolve this bureaucratic part a little in advance. The only thing you need to process your tourist visa or eTA is your passport. This must have more than 6 months of validity and several free pages.
