Pricing plan
Electronic Travel Authorization — Pricing plans
Service fee from $65 per traveler. Choose the processing speed that fits your schedule — same expert review and included features at every tier.
Processing times begin when we are able to submit your file to the Sri Lanka authorities — not at the time of payment. If submissions are restricted to a specific window before arrival, your file is held and the timer starts when that window opens; the projected date is shown at checkout before any charge is applied. Choosing a faster tier prioritizes your file in our review queue — it has no effect on how quickly the government handles your application after submission, and does not constitute a guarantee of issuance.
