Fee range and official-fee note

Official Sri Lanka government fees and eligibility rules can change by route, nationality and timing. Use this page as a route-planning guide, then recheck official fees before submission. VizeLanka consulting fees are separate unless a service page clearly states a total package price.

Processing time

Simple ETA files can move quickly, but regional last-minute travel still needs time for category checks and official processing. VizeLanka can review category fit and document consistency, but official processing time and approval decisions remain with Sri Lankan authorities.
