Book flights, hotels, and activities, curated for travelers visiting Sri Lanka.
Complete immigration and official attraction bookings through government domains, not ads or lookalike agencies. Sri Lanka's current ETA portal says foreign visitors in its listed tourist categories must obtain authorization before arrival, including nationalities receiving a temporary fee waiver. Rules, fees, permitted stay and sponsor requirements depend on the passport, so read the current notices and apply only at eta.gov.lk. Keep the approval and application details offline. For major archaeological sites, the Central Cultural Fund sells official eTickets for Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and selected other sites and museums. Its current terms say the order is valid for 90 days, non-refundable and exchanged at the relevant site's counter, so check the exact site and carry the receipt and passport. The Department of Wildlife Conservation also has an official online permit service for listed national parks. Availability is capped, the booking requires complete group and vehicle details, and the permit and receipt must be printed. Coordinate with the safari operator before paying so the driver, jeep and all passengers are entered correctly. A park entrance permit does not by itself arrange transport or a competent guide. Recheck opening, weather and route conditions close to the visit.
