Can I Apply for a Sri Lanka Visa on My Phone?
Yes — you can apply for a Sri Lanka visa directly on your phone, as long as you use the official online Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system and a mobile web browser or a mobile-friendly site.
Applying for a Sri Lanka Visa on Your Phone
Sri Lanka mainly uses the ETA e-visa system, which is an electronic travel authorization for short-term visits (tourist, business, or transit). The official portal is designed to work on phones, tablets, and computers.
Mobile accessibility: The ETA application portal is mobile-friendly, so you can fill out the form, upload information, and pay the visa fee using your phone’s browser.
Document delivery: After approval, your ETA will be emailed to you as a confirmation, which you can save and show on your phone or print if you prefer.
Where to Apply
Use the official Sri Lanka ETA website, srilankaimmigration.org, where you can complete the application on any device, including your phone.
What You’ll Need
When applying on your phone, have the following ready:
Valid passport details (number, name, birthdate) matching your travel document.
Email address where the ETA approval will be sent.
Return ticket and accommodation info (often part of the ETA form).
Credit/debit card for paying visa fees online.
Processing typically takes 24–48 hours, with approval emailed as a PDF linked to your passport.
Key Tips for Applying on Your Phone
Stable Internet: Use Wi-Fi or strong mobile data to avoid interruptions during payment or submission.
Browser Compatibility: Modern browsers handle it well; enable pop-ups if needed for payment gateways.
Payment Security: The site uses secure electronic payments—ensure your card supports international transactions.
Offline Prep: Have your passport details, email, phone number, and travel itinerary ready. Screenshot important steps if desired.
Check Status: You can also check application status or download your approval notice directly on the site via your phone.
