Service scope and fit
Review who this route fits, where it becomes risky, what VizeLanka checks and which nearby route may be cleaner.
Tourist ETA is the natural short-stay path for holidays, family visits and simple first entries. The file still needs a readable story: passport details, arrival date, first address, return or onward logic and purpose should all point to a short personal visit. VizeLanka total package pricing is 75 USD for normal processing and 100 USD for urgent processing. The service focuses on category fit, document consistency, application handling and pre-flight risk review; it is not an approval guarantee.
- Best for holidays, family visits and simple short stays where no business or paid activity is planned.
- We check whether dates, accommodation, return or onward travel and stated purpose support the same tourist story.
- Normal package is 75 USD; urgent package is 100 USD. Official decisions, system availability and border decisions remain outside VizeLanka control.
- If the trip includes meetings, remote-work trial, transit activity or likely extension, we redirect the file before submission.
Decision depth
Pause when
- Meetings, site visits or paid activity are part of the trip
- The first entry is mainly a route to a long stay
- Transit is the real purpose
Main risk signal
- Hotel dates, return ticket and stated purpose do not tell the same short-stay story.

FAQ
Practical questions about fit, pricing, documents and official-decision boundaries.
Can family members apply together?
Each traveler normally needs an individual ETA file.
What if my plan changes?
Dates and accommodation should stay consistent with the application story.
What does the Tourist ETA package include?
It includes category and document pre-check, file preparation support and ETA handling guidance; official decisions remain with the authorities.
When should I choose Business ETA instead?
If the trip includes meetings, trade contact, supplier visits, conferences or commercial activity, business ETA logic should be reviewed before using tourist wording.
Can Tourist ETA be the first step before a longer stay?
Sometimes, but the first entry should not contradict the realistic longer-stay plan. Extension or residence timing should be mapped early.
Who should not use Tourist ETA?
Applicants with meetings, supplier visits, paid activity or a hidden long-stay plan should review business, extension or residence logic before choosing Tourist ETA.
What is the biggest Tourist ETA file risk?
The biggest risk is mismatch: travel dates, accommodation, return plan and stated purpose pointing in different directions.
