Travel to Sri Lanka with an ETA
The Sri Lanka Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is an official electronic pre-approval issued by the Department of Immigration & Emigration, allowing eligible travellers to enter Sri Lanka for short visits — tourism, business, or transit. De-Genesis Travel and Tours Ltd facilitates your application end-to-end: we verify your eligibility, prepare and submit your application to the official portal, and keep you updated until your ETA is approved. You simply present the approved ETA at the Sri Lankan port of entry, where the short-visit visa is endorsed on arrival.
