I apologize for having to inform you of this but the Sri Lankan business visa is not the same as a general ETA visa.

The Business ETA is a new program that allows companies to send their workers on 30 day business trips to the country. You can go to conferences, workshops, seminars and symposiums among other things.

The Investor Visa allows foreigners to come and stay in Sri Lanka for long periods, if they invest in specific business ventures in the country. This visa caters to those professionals who want to set up shop here and help this economy grow.

To be eligible for investor visa, you will need to make a minimum initial investment of 250k Sri Lankan rupees in any Sri Lanka bank.

The Sri Lanka ETA Business visa is a temporary visa that allows individuals to enter the country for a maximum of 90 days. It is a business visitor visa, not an investor visa.

The Sri Lanka ETA Business Visa is one of the best options for people who don’t have ample funds to invest in the country, but still want to work on their business idea or project in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka’s Tourist ETA is only issued for short-term stays, including tourism, visiting friends & family and competing in sporting events.

The Sri Lanka Tourist ETA is an electronic Travel Authorization issued by the Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration. It allows tourists to enter the country for tourism purposes, such as sightseeing, visiting friends and family, or participating in sporting events, competitions, or activities related to tourism.

Sri Lanka grants 30 days of stay for tourists at a time, but violators can be punished with fines and possible jail time.

Here are the steps to apply for an ETA online:

– Enter Aid-Air site on the Sri Lanka ETA.
– Send to us your passport photo
– Pay online using a credit card or PayPal.
– Print out your ETA and present it at the airport when you enter Sri Lanka.

On entering Sri Lanka you will need to produce your passport and the ETA. If you are not carrying the ETA, but can produce a printout at the airport, the visa officer may allow you to enter and you will be given a new ETA on arrival.

In order to obtain a visa on arrival, an applicant must fill-in an online application form, attaching an electronic copy of his/her passport photo.

Citizens from most countries can apply for an ETA for Sri Lanka online. The process takes about 20 minutes and the applicant needs to provide personal information, address and contact details.

Countries from the East Coast region are required to apply for a Transit ETA if they’re spending more than 8 hours in Sri Lanka. They can’t use this transit visa to leave the airport premises.

The ETA transit visa is a type of visa that allows you to travel through Sri Lanka for a limited time. The Sri Lanka ETA transit is not the same as an ETA tourist visa, which you can use to visit Sri Lanka for a longer period of time.

There are some restrictions on the ETA transit visa:

– You can’t work in Sri Lanka while your ETA transit visa is active.
– You can’t get married or have children while your ETA transit visa is active.
– You need to have at least USD$50 in your bank account when you apply for the visa.

The Sri Lanka Transit ETA is good for two days in the country when transiting to an onward destination.

Once you have the approved Sri Lanka Transit ETA, you aren’t allowed to stay in the country for more than 2 days. It’s also illegal for you to work or study here

The Sri Lanka ETA let’s you enter the country for a limited number of times. If your visit has a specific reason for staying longer, we suggest you contact the embassy directly.

The Sri Lanka Tourist ETA lets you enter the country twice within its 6-month validity. Not so for the Business ETA. Business ETAs provide multi-entry and have to be applied for separately, unlike a regular Tourist ETA.

However, the use of an ETA for transit is a single entry authorization and only permits one entry during its validity.

The Business Sri Lanka ETA is a visa category which is applicable to any business activity carried out by a foreigner in Sri Lanka. This includes the following:

– Visiting Sri Lanka for the purpose of attending conferences, seminars, workshops, training courses and other events;
– Conducting negotiations or concluding contracts on behalf of an overseas company;
– Attending meetings with prospective clients or customers;
– Participating in trade fairs and exhibitions;
– Investing money in a business venture in Sri Lanka;
– Participating as an investor, consultant or advisor to a business undertaking in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lanka Tourist ETA is an electronic travel authorization that allows citizens of eligible countries to travel to Sri Lanka for short-term stays, as long as they’re planning on touring the country.

You can also use the Sri Lanka ETA if you’re traveling for business OR if you’re just passing through.

Having to pass through Sri Lankan customs can be a hassle, but the transit ETA allows you to stay in Sri Lanka for a total of 2 days before leaving for your destination. This means that if you need to catch a connecting flight or want to enjoy the city, you’ll have plenty of time.
