Still to establish

  • No passport list is encoded for comparison. Check your passport with the authority; omission does not mean exclusion or exemption.

Recorded maximum stay: 30 days

This figure is recorded in the guide. Confirm the current limit, counting method, entry conditions and exceptions with the authority; it is not a personal allowance.

Travel purposes recorded in this source

The listed purposes do not establish permission to work or undertake other activities.

  • Business

Prepare and verify

  1. Check whether your passport, journey and transit arrangements fall within the official authorisation scheme.
  2. Apply through the official channel when required and confirm the decision, passport link and validity before travelling.

Your next checks

  1. Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
  2. List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
  3. Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
  4. If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.
What else should I know?

An authorisation does not guarantee boarding or entry. A new passport or changed circumstances may require a new application; check the scheme's rules.

Automatic translation. The official authority's source takes precedence.

Who can apply

Traveller holding an individual passport and proof of the professional purpose. Confirm the channel with the Sri Lankan mission or immigration; media, political and NGO activities need a different approval.

Prepare and verify

  1. Have the application channel and the number of entries allowed for the planned activity confirmed.
  2. Prepare the passport, professional contact details and proof of the purpose of the visit.
  3. Obtain approval before departure and respect the duration stated on the authorisation.
  • The categories page describes a double-entry business ETA over 30 days; the missions' fee schedule also describes a multiple-entry option. The category actually issued must be confirmed.
  • The tourist fee waiver granted to some nationalities does not make the business ETA free.
  • The official page refers business applications to the missions and to immigration in Colombo; this record does not promise a universal online filing.
