Sri Lanka Suspends New ETA Requirement, Easing Travel For Indians

For Indian travellers dreaming of beaches in Bentota, cool mornings in Nuwara Eliya, or café hopping in Galle Fort, here’s some good news: Sri Lanka has rolled back its decision to make Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) mandatory before departure. The requirement, which had been introduced only recently, has now been put on hold. In simple terms, travellers can go back to using the same visa or ETA process that existed before mid-October, keeping things familiar and fuss-free.
