Sri Lanka Offers Free Tourist ETA for 40 Countries
Sri Lanka has announced a new policy allowing citizens from 40 countries to obtain a tourist Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) free of charge, effective from 25 May 2026. This initiative permits eligible nationals to stay in Sri Lanka for up to 30 days without incurring any visa fees.
The list of qualifying countries includes major tourism markets across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, and North America, such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, and the United Kingdom. However, no African nations are represented on this list, meaning travelers from countries like Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa will need to pursue standard visa channels for entry into Sri Lanka.
The free ETA specifically covers a single tourist visit and is categorized as a tourist visa, applicable to nationals of the listed countries starting from the specified date.
