Indian passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter Sri Lanka. Apply at srilankaeta.gov.lk before travel. The ETA costs $50 for a 30-day tourist stay (double-entry), processed within 24 to 48 hours. An ETA on arrival is available at Colombo Bandaranaike Airport (CMB) for $60, but the online route is faster. Extensions up to 90 days are available at the Department of Immigration in Colombo for $25.
Required documents are minimal: a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds ($50 per day is the informal guideline). No hotel bookings or invitation letters are needed for the ETA application. The ETA form asks for your Sri Lankan address, so have at least the first night's hotel name ready.
