Traveling from Qatar to Sri Lanka

WHAT IS AN ETA?

The Sri Lankan government allows many nationalities to travel to the country on a tourist or business visa on arrival. But to get the visa on arrival, you must apply in advance for the Sri Lanka ETA. This is an Electronic Travel Authorization that permits you to submit your primary information in an online application form. By doing this, you’ll get a valid visa immediately on Sri Lanka’s arrival.

There are two different Sri Lanka ETAs: Tourist ETA and Business ETA. You must apply according to the purposes of your trip. If you travel to enjoy Sri Lanka’s attractions, explore the region, and visit the different beach options, the Tourist ETA is the document for you. But if you are going for business meetings or a work conference, you must choose the Sri Lanka Business ETA.

You can see all the specifications on our site.
