How it works

Four steps. Less than five minutes.

We trim the 39-field government form down to four bits of work. Your documents do most of the talking.

    Snap your passport

    Photo of the photo page. Our AI reads the MRZ and fills 12 fields. No typing.

  2. 02

    Upload your ticket

    Image, screenshot, or PDF. We extract flight dates, airline, and ports — 6 more fields.

  3. 03

    Pay & relax

    Review, add a few details, pay. We submit to immigration within hours.

  4. 04

    ETA in your inbox

    Approved by Sri Lanka Immigration, emailed as a print-ready PDF. Usually overnight.

Concierge vs DIY

Why pay $10 extra?

The eta.gov.lk site works. It's just clunky, English-only, and unforgiving of typos. Here's what your $10 actually buys.

Official fee schedule

The fee depends on your passport and your purpose.

Sri Lanka charges different rates for SAARC member nationals and other countries. Transit is always free; longer business stays cost more. We don't mark any of this up — we just collect and forward.

All Sri Lanka government fees above. Add $10 VisaLK service if you'd like us to handle the form. Government fees paid directly to Sri Lanka — we don't take a cut.

¹Alert-01 countries (CHNINDIDNRUSTHAMYSJPN) — tourist ETA free per Sri Lanka's Sept 2024 waiver. Business follows the standard schedule: India (also SAARC) pays $30; the other six pay $55.

SAARC = Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan. Discounted ETA processing fees apply.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Are you the Sri Lankan government?
No. We're an independent local business in Trincomalee, owned by JK Innovations Pvt Ltd. We submit applications on your behalf to the official Department of Immigration & Emigration. The $50 government fee is identical to what you'd pay on eta.gov.lk — our $10 covers form filling, document checks, and human support.
What if my visa is rejected?
Per Sri Lanka Immigration policy, the ETA processing fee is non-refundable and non-transferable once submitted to immigration — even on refusal. If our pre-submission checks catch a problem, we refund you in full before submitting. If immigration refuses after submission, we still refund our $10 service fee, but the government processing fee is gone.
How is the government fee calculated?
Sri Lanka charges by visa type and passport nationality. Tourist ETA: $20 for SAARC nationals, $50 for other countries (free for Alert-01 countries — China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan — since Sept 2024). Business: $30 SAARC / $55 other. Transit: free. Children under 12 travel free for 30 days. We charge $10 on top if you'd like us to handle the form.
How fast is 'fast'?
Most ETAs are approved within 4–12 hours. Our SLA is 24 hours from payment to approval email. If we miss it through any fault on our end, your service fee is refunded automatically.
Is my passport photo safe?
Yes. Documents are encrypted in transit, processed by Anthropic's Claude API, and deleted from our servers within 60 seconds of extraction. We never share photos with third parties.
Which countries do you support?
Anyone who needs a Sri Lanka tourist ETA — most non-SAARC nationalities, plus the SAARC discounts. Visa-free nationalities (Maldives, Singapore, Seychelles) don't need us. Some nationalities require a Sri Lankan sponsor and must apply via the head office (Cameroon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana).
