Key Cost Factors

The fee you pay is determined by:

Nationality: Applicants are generally divided into two groups:
- SAARC Countries: Citizens of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations typically pay a lower fee.
- Non-SAARC Countries: Citizens of all other eligible countries will have a standard, higher fee.
Type of ETA : The purpose of your visit also affects the cost. The most common types are the Tourist ETA and the Business ETA , which may have different fees.
Transit ETA : For travellers with a short layover in Sri Lanka, a Transit ETA is available, usually at no cost for a very limited duration (e.g., up to 48 hours).

Please Note: ETA fees are set by the government of Sri Lanka and are subject to change without prior notice.

Tips for Budget and Timeline Planning

Integrating your ETA application into your travel planning can save you both money and stress.

Plan Ahead for the Best Value: For the lowest cost, choose Standard Processing and apply at least two weeks before your trip.
For Peace of Mind: If your departure is within one to two weeks, selecting Rush Processing is a wise choice to avoid any last-minute anxiety.
For Urgent Travel: Super Rush Processing is the essential option if you are travelling within the next week.
