Visiting Sri Lanka: Eritrean citizen → Sri Lanka
💻
Apply for a Sri Lanka ETA (online)
Eritrea passport holders apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before travelling to Sri Lanka — a 30-day stay with double entry. It is free of charge for around 40 nationalities and a fee for the rest.
The bottom line
- Apply online for the ETA before arriving in Sri Lanka.
- The tourist ETA gives a 30-day stay with a double-entry facility from the date of first arrival.
- Around 40 nationalities get the ETA free of charge; the rest follow the general (paid) ETA rules.
- Need longer than 30 days? You can apply for an extension by paying the appropriate visa fee.
