When can I apply for an ETA for Sri Lanka?

score:2

Accepted answer

If it says that arrival should be within 90 days, then yes, that means all you have to do is wait until it's 90 days left, and apply then.

That said, the statement that:

...you need to apply for an ETA beforehand

is wrong if entering by air. At Colombo Airport, you can file the application and get the ETA before clearing Immigration, although it costs USD 40 instead of 35.

This is confirmed by the database used by airlines, Timatic:

Passengers traveling as tourists must obtain an ETA on arrival, or before arrival at www.eta.gov.lk
