Will the tour operator handle my Sri Lankan tourist visa application?

Most travel operators do not handle the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for you, because it involves sensitive personal declarations and a direct payment step. In practice, you have to apply for the tourist visa yourself via the official government portal.

The Sri Lankan online visa procedure is very streamlined; it usually takes just a few minutes to finish if you do it independently. Even though the agency will not submit the form, they will help you with the precise hotel locations and the local contact numbers you need so you can complete the application correctly before your flight.
