SRI LANKA VISA FOR THE CITIZENS OF PAKISTAN

Are you planning a trip to fantastic Sri Lanka? Before departure, be aware that citizens of Pakistan need to get the Sri Lanka ETA, a document that works as a Sri Lanka visa for Pakistanis. But you don’t need to worry about waiting in an embassy: the Department of Immigration developed the Sri Lanka ETA to help tourists travel easily to the country. Pakistan nationals are one of the groups of citizens eligible to apply for this document online.

Unfortunately, iVisa does not currently offer the Sri Lanka ETA application for travelers from Pakistan. We hope that this document will soon be available on our platform. In the meantime, you can learn all the requirements, so you know the application process when the ETA is available again.
