We operate as an independent service provider to assist individuals in their ETA Visa applications for Sri Lanka. It is important to be aware that when applying for an e-Visa through our processing, you will be charged a service fee in addition to the Sri Lankan Government Fee. The service fee covers the cost of our professional assistance and dedicated support throughout the application process. Please note that our service fee may be higher compared to applying directly on the official Sri Lanka Government Website or at Sri Lankan Missions in your country.
If you prefer a non-guided service or wish to explore other options, you have the choice to apply in person at the Sri Lankan Missions or through the official Sri Lankan Government Website. These channels provide the necessary information and application forms for you to apply directly. Applying through these channels may be a more cost-effective option for individuals who are comfortable navigating the visa application process independently.
