Sri Lanka ETA for Indonesian citizens: How to apply

If you hold an Indonesian passport and plan to visit Sri Lanka, you’ll need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before you go. The ETA is linked to your passport and approved online, so there’s no need to visit an embassy.

We review applications for accuracy and guide you step by step, helping you avoid mistakes that could delay your trip.

Do Indonesian citizens need a visa for Sri Lanka?

Indonesian citizens must apply for an ETA to enter Sri Lanka. The ETA is mandatory for short visits and can be used to enter by air, land or sea. Without a valid ETA, Indonesian travelers will not be allowed to enter the country.

“When you get the ETA approval email, save the confirmation page as a PDF on your phone and screenshot it,” says Rafael P., an iVisa travel contributor. “I had my ETA approved, but the website didn’t let me print. At immigration I just showed the email on my phone and everything worked.”
