How much does a Sri Lanka tourist visa cost?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 27, 2026

A 30-day tourist ETA for Sri Lanka usually costs about $50 for many travellers from abroad. People from SAARC member countries often pay less.

The government updates these charges from time to time. So it helps to check the exact amount on the official immigration site before you travel. Children who are under 12 years old are normally issued the ETA at no cost. To pay for the application online, you need a working credit or debit card while you fill out the form.
