The current ETA system was introduced and has been in effect since the 1st (Sunday) of January 2012. The intention of the implementation of the new ETA system is to provide a simplified, reliable and highly efficient service to the foreign nationals who visit Sri Lanka. The holder of an ETA is eligible to receive a 30 day Short Visit Visa at his/her respective port of entry to Sri Lanka.*
