Sri Lanka ETA Exemption and Refund policies

Every traveler visiting to Sri Lanka for short visit (30 days) must hold a valid SL ETA Visa.  Though, few nationals and categories are exempted from applying for an ETA-

Nationals:

•    The Republic of Singapore.
•    The Republic of Maldives.
•    The Republic of Seychelles.

Categories:

•    The Crew members of Flight/Ship.

Exemption from ETA processing Fee:

•    Children travelling under 12 years of age
•    Transit permitted only for 48 hours.

Extension of Short Visit Visa:

If you are planning to extend your stay in SL for more than 30 days, then you can submit a request application at the head office of the Department of Immigration & Emigration. Your SL ETA visa can be extended for up to 90 days from the date of arrival in the Sri Lanka territory.

Refund Policy:

The processing fee for SL ETA is non-refundable. If the application is processed and the payment has gone through, the fee would remain non-refundable and the changes on the application would not be permitted. Therefore, to reapply the applicant will have to submit a new application with a new fee for the same.
