ETA approval must for short-term visitors

01 Jan 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Short-term visitors to Sri Lanka and transit passengers should obtain travel authorization prior to their arrival in the country from today, officials said.

Accordingly, the system called Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) which scraps the previously implemented visa on arrival at the ports of entry will not be not applicable to visitors from Singapore and Maldives, the two countries that reciprocate the facility with Sri Lanka.

“The issuing authority of the ETA is the Department of Immigration and Emigration, Colombo, Sri Lanka,” the official ETA website said.
