For Indian passport holders · Check the linked sources and entry conditions before travel
Visa Details
Indian tourists must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before arriving in Sri Lanka. Under the scheme effective 25 May 2026, the tourist ETA is free of charge for Indian nationals and permits a 30-day stay with double entry within that period. A fee waiver does not remove the advance ETA requirement. Longer stays require an approved extension and applicable fees; business travel has separate conditions.
