FAQs:
About the Sri Lanka Visa (ETA)
What is Scapia's Visa Guarantee?
We strive to ensure every applicant gets their visa. Our expert team works closely with you, verifying your documents, submitting your application, and helping with everything needed to get your visa approved. In the rare case that your application is rejected by the immigration authority, we refund the complete fee back to you, including the embassy fee you paid.
Do Indians need a visa to visit Sri Lanka?
Yes - Indian passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Sri Lanka. The ETA is Sri Lanka's e-visa equivalent: apply online, receive digital approval, and present a printout at immigration on arrival. The good news: the Sri Lanka ETA is currently free for Indian passport holders - there is no government fee.
What is the Sri Lanka ETA and is it the same as an e-visa?
Yes, functionally. The ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) is Sri Lanka's e-visa for Indians - a fully online travel permit with no embassy visit needed. Once approved, you receive a digital document that you print and present to immigration.
Is there a Sri Lanka tourist visa for Indians, or only the ETA?
The ETA is the Sri Lanka tourist visa for Indians - they are the same thing under different names. If you've been searching for a Sri Lanka tourist visa or Sri Lanka e-visa for Indians, the ETA is what you need.
How long can Indians stay in Sri Lanka on the ETA?
Indians can stay up to 30 days per visit on the Sri Lanka ETA.
Is the Sri Lanka ETA single entry or multiple entry?
The Sri Lanka ETA permits multiple entries within its 180-day validity, with each stay capped at 30 days.
How long is the ETA valid after approval?
180 days from the date of issue, with multiple visits permitted within this window, up to 30 days each.

What passport validity is required for the Sri Lanka ETA?
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended return date from Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Visa Cost & Fee
How much does the Sri Lanka visa cost for Indians?
The Sri Lanka ETA is currently free for Indian passport holders - the government charges no embassy fee. Scapia charges a ₹99 service fee for processing and submitting your application. This makes the Sri Lanka e-visa one of the most affordable for Indian travellers, with no hidden charges on top.
What is the Sri Lanka visa fee or e-visa price for Indians?
There is no Sri Lanka visa fee for Indians - the ETA embassy fee is waived for Indian passport holders. The only cost is Scapia's ₹99 service fee, which covers form submission, document review, and status tracking.
Processing Time & Validity
How long is the ETA valid after approval?
180 days from the date of approval, with multiple entries permitted during that period.
What is the difference between ETA validity and length of stay?
The 180-day validity is the window within which you can enter Sri Lanka. Your actual visit, or length of stay, is limited to a maximum of 30 days.
Can Indians enter Sri Lanka multiple times on the same ETA?
Yes - the Sri Lanka ETA is multiple entry. You can visit more than once within the 180-day validity, with each stay capped at 30 days.
How to Apply
When should Indians apply for the Sri Lanka ETA?
At least 15 days before your travel date - this allows buffer time for processing and any document corrections.
When exactly does Scapia submit my ETA?
Scapia reviews your documents and submits your ETA to the Sri Lankan authorities on your behalf. You'll receive status updates in the app throughout the process.
Can I apply for the ETA for my whole family?
Yes - each traveller needs their own separate ETA. You can submit applications for all family members, including children, through Scapia.
Can I edit my Sri Lanka ETA after submitting?
No - once submitted, the ETA cannot be edited or modified. If there is an error, contact Scapia's support team right away and they will assist with a fresh application.

What does the approved Sri Lanka ETA look like?
A digital document - you'll receive it on the Scapia app and via email. Print it before travel; you must present it at immigration on arrival in Sri Lanka.
Where can I find my approved ETA?
In the Scapia app under your visa application. A copy is sent to your registered email address as well.
What documents should I carry when entering Sri Lanka?
Your valid passport and a printed copy of your ETA - immigration will ask for both on arrival.
How do I check my Sri Lanka ETA status?
Check anytime on the Scapia app or website - no need to contact support separately.
Rejection & Reapplication
What happens if my Sri Lanka ETA application is rejected?
If the Sri Lankan immigration authority rejects your application, Scapia's Visa Guarantee covers you - you'll receive a full refund of everything you paid via Scapia. Our team will reach out to process the refund.

If your ETA is rejected by the Sri Lankan authorities, Scapia's Visa Guarantee means you receive a complete refund of all fees paid - no questions asked.
At the Destination
What currency should Indians carry when visiting Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka uses the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Carry some cash for local transport, street food, and smaller establishments - major tourist spots and hotels also accept cards. For card payments, the Scapia Co-branded Credit Card charges zero forex markup, so you pay the real exchange rate every time.
Can Indians work in Sri Lanka on the ETA?
No - the ETA is strictly for tourism and short-term business visits. Employment of any kind requires a separate visa.
Do Indians need travel insurance for Sri Lanka?
Travel insurance is not mandatory for ETA holders, but strongly recommended to cover medical emergencies and trip disruptions.
Can Indians travel freely within Sri Lanka on the ETA?
Yes - the ETA allows Indians to travel freely throughout Sri Lanka for the full permitted duration of their stay.
