“Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Sri Lanka sometime in 2025 and I hold an Indian passport. I’m a bit confused about the visa process. Do Indian citizens need a visa to enter Sri Lanka in 2025, or is there any kind of visa-free entry or special exemption for Indians? I came across terms like ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) and visa on arrival, but I’m not sure which one actually applies right now. If anyone has traveled recently, could you please share how the process works, how long it takes, and whether it’s better to apply online in advance or just get it at the airport? Also, are there any changes in fees or validity period for Indian tourists this year? Any guidance would be really helpful!”
