About this visa

Since 25 May 2026 Sri Lanka has charged Russian citizens no government fee for the ETA; the price shown for your citizenship already accounts for what applies to you. The authorisation itself still has to be arranged — before departure, not on arrival: without an approved ETA you will not be allowed to board.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months on the date of entry. We check the data, file the application and hand you the approved ETA — usually the fastest of our requests.

Mobile data in Sri Lanka: e-SIM

Works as soon as you land — no roaming, no local SIM card. The plan only starts on first connection in the country.
